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 during the reign of George William, who was the Duke of Brandenburg and the King of Prussia from 1634 to 1636. During his reign, George William implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. The 2 Thalers coin was a key part of this new system, and it was widely used throughout the German States during this time.
