Comment
LM = Liborius MüllerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of George William, who was the Duke of Brandenburg from 1624 to 1631. During his reign, the duchy experienced significant economic growth and military expansion, which led to an increase in trade and commerce. The 1/24 Thaler coin was likely used for everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the markets and shops of the time. Despite its small size, the coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of 17th century Brandenburg-Prussia.
