Interesting fact

The coin features an image of Frederick William III, who was the King of Prussia from 1797 until his death in 1840. He was known for his conservative and militaristic policies, and his reign saw the expansion of Prussia's territory and military power. The coin was minted in 1812, during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, and it was likely used to help finance Prussia's military efforts during this time.
