| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Elector Frederick III facing right, wearing an elaborate periwig adorned with a laurel wreath. The circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy along the rim, with mint marks flanking the base of the truncation. The portrait is rendered in the late Baroque style typical of Brandenburg-Prussian coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick III issued these six-groschen pieces in the final years before his most consequential political move: in January 1701 he crowned himself Frederick I, King in Prussia, in a ceremony he organized and paid for himself after negotiating with Emperor Leopold I. The deal secured Prussian troops for the War of the Spanish Succession. This coin therefore predates, by months or at most a few years, the elevation that transformed Brandenburg-Prussia from an electorate into a kingdom — making the "Frederick III" attribution soon obsolete.
