附加信息	Frederick I had secured the Prussian royal title only four years before this issue, having famously crowned himself at Königsberg in 1701 to sidestep the protocol that required a pope or emperor to perform the ceremony. The 1/48 Thaler denomination was essentially small change, and billon issues of this weight rarely survived heavy circulation in readable condition — most were melted or lost to the gutter economy of early 18th-century Brandenburg towns.
