1707 Prussia Frederick I Jeton (Token)
Tax included.
The 1707 Prussia Frederick I Jeton is a commemorative token issued under Frederick I, the first King in Prussia (crowned in 1701). Jetons, unlike circulating coins, were struck as counters for use in accounting, education, or ceremonial distribution, and often carried political or propagandistic messages. Typically made of copper, silver, or brass, they resembled coins but held no fixed monetary value. This particular jeton reflects the prestige of Frederick I’s reign, during which he elevated Prussia to a kingdom recognized within the Holy Roman Empire. Designs on jetons from this era often highlighted dynastic power, alliances, or significant state events, serving as miniature pieces of political art.
