Germany, Preussen, Friedrich II, 6 groschen 1755, Konigsberg

A nice piece of low proof Prussian issue beaten to Polish pattern.

Typical sheet flaws. Lots of preserved luster in the background.

An interesting souvenir of Prussia's war with Poland and Saxony to shake up the Polish economy.

Obverse: bust of the ruler in armor and crown, to the right, in the rim the legend:
FRIDERICVS BORVSSORVM REX;

Reverse: crowned, five-field escutcheon with the coats of arms of Prussia and Pomerania, on a palm wreath, below it the denomination mark VI and the mint mark -E-, surrounded by legend:
COIN---ARGENTEA-17-55-;
