| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1719 double thaler falls in the middle of Frederick William I's aggressive military buildup — the king who inherited a Prussian army of 38,000 and expanded it to over 80,000, funded partly by slashing court expenditure so severely that the Berlin palace staff was reduced to a skeleton crew. Large silver presentation-weight pieces from his reign were minted less for commerce than for diplomatic gifting and treasury display, which explains why survivors tend to appear in finer condition than their nominal face value would suggest warranted.
The Davenport reference GT II:2576A distinguishes this from closely related die pairings in the series — Olding FR#206A narrows it further within the Schröder classification.
