Minted during the Seven Years' WarAlthough the 'C' mintmark normally designated Cleves, these coins were struck in Berlin, Aurich, Magdeburg and Königsberg, as well as Cleves.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Gröscher coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which was a major conflict between Prussia and its allies, and Austria, Russia, and their allies. The coin features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia at the time and played a significant role in the war. Despite the war effort, the coin was still made of silver, indicating the value and wealth of the Prussian kingdom during this time period.
