Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Prussia. The coin was introduced in 1839, just a few years after the Prussian government had implemented a series of economic reforms aimed at modernizing the country's economy and increasing its industrialization. These reforms, known as the "Prussian Reforms," had a significant impact on the country's economy and helped to lay the groundwork for Prussia's rise to become one of the dominant powers in Europe. The coin itself is a symbol of this period of change and growth, and its design reflects the values and ideals of the Prussian government at the time.
