Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs - Frederick I 1705-1706 coin from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick I, also known as Frederick the Great, who was a highly influential and enlightened monarch. He was known for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and promotion of arts and culture. The coin's design, which features an image of Frederick I on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other, reflects the king's efforts to promote a strong and centralized state. Additionally, the use of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was more durable than pure silver and helped to reduce the cost of production.
