Comment
Minted during the Seven Years' WarInteresting fact
The 18 Gröscher coin was minted during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which was a major conflict between the Kingdom of Prussia and several European powers, including Austria, Russia, and Sweden. The coin was named after Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia at the time and played a significant role in the war. Despite the conflict, the coin's design remained relatively unchanged during this period, with the obverse featuring an image of Frederick II and the reverse featuring the Prussian eagle. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the era.
