Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1764 Kingdom of Prussia 1/12 Thaler coin is that it features a unique "mule" design, with the obverse (front) side bearing the image of Frederick II, while the reverse (back) side features the coat of arms of the German States. This combination of two different designs on a single coin is known as a "mule" and is considered a rare and valuable variation among collectors.
