Comment

The 3 Kreuzer coins minted in Breslau for the province of Silesia are identical and equivalent to the 3 Gröscher minted in Berlin. The coins with the different B (Breslau) are Kreuzer and those with the different A (Berlin) or E (Königsberg) are Gröscher.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was a prominent figure in European history and known for his military conquests and administrative reforms.
