Additional information

Frederick William II died in November 1797, making this a final-year issue struck under a king whose reign had seen Prussia absorb substantial Polish territory through the Second and Third Partitions. The Albertustaler denomination itself traces back to the Spanish Netherlands under Archduke Albert, and Prussia adopted the standard as a deliberate gesture toward international trade credibility — the type circulated widely in the Levant trade well into the nineteenth century.
