Comments
For the year 1752, the mint letter does not split the date in two and is surrounded by parentheses (F).
Only the years 1753 and 1754 have variants, either an acorn or flower pattern on either side of the face value, as well as one or two dots after the GROS
For the other years it is only flowers and a single dot after the GROS
ngc.com refers to the year 1752F while there is a 1752D similar to the others without parentheses but under the name km#214.
Frederick II of Prussia (24 January 1712 – 17 August 1786) was King of Prussia (1740 to 1786). He was the 14th Prince-Elector of Brandenburg as well.
