Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it features an image of George William, the ruler of the state, on one side, and an image of the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during George William's reign from 1631 to 1633 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted as a medium of exchange.
