Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1779 Frederick II (Mule) 1/48 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it features a unique combination of two different portraits of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, on its obverse side. The coin was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the complex political and historical context of the period.
