Prussian Thaler




Until 1821, the thaler was subdivided in Brandenburg into 24 ''Groschen'', each of 12 ''Pfennige''. In Prussia proper, it was subdivided into 3 ''Gulden'', each of 30 ''Groschen'' or 90 ''Schilling''. Prussia's currency was unified in 1821, with the Thaler subdivided into 30 ''Silbergroschen'', each of 12 ''Pfenninge''.

In 1857, the Prussian Thaler was replaced by the Vereinsthaler , having become the standard across much of Germany.
