| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick William — the future "Great Elector" — had only just inherited Brandenburg-Prussia in 1640, inheriting with it a territory ravaged by two decades of Thirty Years' War occupation, depleted treasuries, and a coinage system in near-total disorder. These half thalers were struck across three mints operating under inconsistent conditions, which accounts for the die variation documented under Schroetter 2157 and the occasionally uneven planchet quality seen on surviving examples.
The Peace of Westphalia was still seven years away when the last of this issue left the dies.
