Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Frederick William IV, who was the King of Prussia from 1840 until his death in 1861. However, the coin was actually minted during a time of political turmoil in Prussia, when the country was undergoing significant political and social changes. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the tumultuous period during which it was minted.
