Interesting fact
The 18 Gröscher coin was minted during the reign of Frederick William, also known as the "Great Elector," who ruled Brandenburg-Prussia from 1640 to 1688. During his reign, he implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the state and its economy, including the introduction of a new currency system that replaced the old system of bartering with silver and copper coins. The 18 Gröscher coin was part of this new currency system and was used widely throughout the German States.
