Comment

Coin minted at the Berlin workshop (different A). Coins with different B (Breslau) are 3 Kreuzer and were minted for the province of Silesia (see KM# 1023).

Baron von Schrötter lists several variations. The legend of the right can end with a dot or a double dot, and the different A can have a dot on each side.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Pièce frappée à l'atelier de Berlin (différent A). Les pièces avec le différent B (Breslau) sont des 3 Kreuzer et ont été frappées pour la province de Silésie (voir KM# 1023)

Le baron von Schrötter répertorie plusieurs variantes. La légende du droit peut ainsi se terminer par un point ou double point et le différent A peut être accosté d'un point de chaque coté.

Interesting fact

The 3 Gröscher coin was minted during the reign of Frederick II of Prussia, also known as Frederick the Great. He was a prominent figure in European history and known for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements. The coin's design features an image of Frederick II on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Prussian state during that time.
