Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in 1630-1631, a period when the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving and the various German states were struggling for power and independence.
