Additional information

East Frisia's incorporation into Prussia in 1744 left Frederick II with a patchwork of local monetary obligations he was in no hurry to rationalize. The tiny billon fractionals continued under his name largely because suppressing them would have disrupted petty commerce in a province already skeptical of Hohenzollern administration. This piece dates to just six years before Prussia formally abolished the separate East Frisian coinage series entirely.
