| Aanvullende informatie |
The 18 Groschen pieces of 1757 are among the most politically charged coins of the Seven Years' War. Frederick II, desperate for war financing after Prussian treasury reserves were strained by simultaneous campaigns on multiple fronts, debased the coinage aggressively — but not equally. Full-weight silver issues like this type were struck for paying certain troops and foreign obligations, while notoriously debased pieces circulated domestically. The mint contractors Ephraim and Itzig became synonymous with the degraded issues; this is not one of those.
