Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia, minted during the reign of George William (1633-1637), was made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. What's interesting about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a crowned eagle on the obverse side, which was a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire. This design was used to show the connection between the State of Brandenburg-Prussia and the Holy Roman Empire, highlighting the state's status as a vassal of the empire.
