Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Carolin coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1734-1735, during the reign of Charles William Frederick, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach and a member of the House of Hohenzollern.
