Comment
F.u.S. 2017Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia, minted in 1666 during the reign of Frederick William, was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to feature a standardized design across all German states. This was a significant innovation in coinage at the time, as it helped to simplify trade and commerce across different regions.
