| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck to commemorate the Battle of Fehrbellin in June 1675, where Frederick William, the Great Elector, routed a Swedish force roughly twice the size of his own Brandenburg army — a victory that established the Hohenzollern state as a serious military power in northern Europe. Sweden had invaded Brandenburg while Frederick William was occupied fighting the French in the Rhine campaign; he force-marched his army over 150 miles in under two weeks to meet them.
The Swedish commander Wolmar von Schlippenbach was captured at Fehrbellin. Frederick William never received the territorial gains the victory deserved — French diplomatic pressure at the 1679 Peace of Saint-Germain-en-Laye forced him to return his Swedish conquests.
