Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Vereinsthaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1858-1859, during the reign of Frederick William IV, who was the King of Prussia from 1840 until his death in 1858. During his reign, Prussia underwent significant economic and political reforms, including the creation of the German Customs Union (Zollverein) in 1834, which aimed to unify the German states economically. The 2 Vereinsthaler coin was minted as part of this effort, and it features an image of Frederick William IV on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other. The coin's silver content and weight were also carefully regulated to ensure consistency and trustworthiness in trade.
