Question
I am seeking any information on a Prussian Coin with "FRIED. WILHELM KOENIG VON PREUSSEN" around the edge with a bust figure on one face and a crest (eagle under crown with two figures holding clubs on either side) with "EIN THALER 1797" on the other face.  It is in good condition as the lettering is distinct and features are well defined. Have photo upon request.

Answer
Hi Dennis, If you have pictures (not over 1 megabyte each please) you can email them to me at tbirde@psknet.com.
Differences in types are the mintmark letter below the date and whether it is Friedrich Wilhelm II or III.
With more info I'll be glad to help further.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
