Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and transformation in the region. The State of Brandenburg-Prussia was formed in 1618 through the merger of the Margraviate of Brandenburg and the Duchy of Prussia, and Frederick III was the first ruler to unite the two territories under a single government. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1689 to 1692, and it reflects the growing power and influence of the Brandenburg-Prussian state during that time.
