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 at the time, on one side, and an image of the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1639 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a common practice in many parts of Europe during this period, as it was seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
