Comments

Different types of this 1686's coin



Brandenburg-Prussia or Brandenburg-Prussia (German: Brandenburg-Preußen) is the modern historiographical name for the union of the Hohenzollern territories in Brandenburg and Prussia[1] between 1618 and 1701. Based on the Electorate of Brandenburg, the main branch of the Hohenzollern held the Dynastic Union with the rulers of the Duchy of Prussia, which guaranteed succession in this territory with the death of the last Duke, in the male line, in 1618. Another consequence of the marriage was the incorporation of the Rhine minor Principalities of Cleves, Mark and Ravensberg after the Treaty of Xanten in 1614.
