| Aanvullende informatie |
George William's thalers of 1631–33 were struck at the worst possible moment for Brandenburg-Prussia. The Thirty Years' War had turned the Electorate into a battlefield corridor, with Swedish and Imperial armies alternately occupying and plundering its territories. George William himself fled Berlin for Königsberg in 1637, but even before that retreat, his mints were operating under severe material and political strain — silver supply was erratic, and the Elector's chronic indecision about which belligerent to support left him with enemies on both sides.
KM#141.1 is distinguished from the closely related .2 variety by the arrangement of the orb and scepter in the arms.
