Additional information

East Frisia had been a Prussian possession since 1744, absorbed after the extinction of the Cirksena dynasty. Frederick II treated the territory largely as an administrative afterthought, and its small billon coinage of the 1770s reflects that indifference — produced to meet local circulation needs with no particular urgency from Berlin. The decade-long emission span suggests dies were used until exhausted rather than refreshed on any schedule.
