Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Vereinsthaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1865, just a few years after the formation of the North German Confederation, which was a precursor to the modern German state. The coin's design, featuring an image of King William I, symbolized the growing power and influence of Prussia during this period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting reflected the country's shift towards a more modern and industrialized economy.
