That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 2:18 pm I find the Preussen interesting on a coin from benin, since Prussia is nowhere near africa nor was it claiming territory in africa. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 10:08 pm sorry for correcting your answer. Preussen was a German metal ship (1902). Easy to confound Preussen ( from Prussia German state and kingdom) and Austria because during the reign of Franz joseph on the coins was wrote also Prussian imperator. Report this Post to the Staff
