Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick William, also known as the "Great Elector," who was a key figure in the history of Prussia. He ruled from 1640 to 1688 and was instrumental in transforming Prussia into a major military and economic power in Europe. The coin, which was made of silver and weighed 5.6 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the markets and shops of Brandenburg-Prussia during that time.
