Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1/12 Reichsthaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III, who was the first king of Prussia and ruled from 1688 to 1701. During his reign, Frederick III implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy and increase trade in the region. The 1/12 Reichsthaler coin was part of this new system and was widely used in commerce and trade during this time.
