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 a crowned eagle on the other. This design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the ruler and the state. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and it was used as a medium of exchange for trade and commerce.
