Comment
Minted during the Seven Years' WarInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 18 Gröscher coin featuring Frederick II (Seven Years' War) from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Seven Years' War, which lasted from 1756 to 1763, was a major conflict that involved many European powers, including Prussia, and had a significant impact on the continent's political and economic landscape. The coin's minting in 1758, during the midst of this conflict, highlights the importance of Prussia's participation in the war and the role that its currency played in financing its military efforts.
