Comment
Slg. Wilm. 893Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat coin from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of John Frederick, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1680 to 1684. During his reign, John Frederick implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy and increase trade in the region. The ¼ Ducat coin was a part of this new coinage system and was widely used in trade and commerce during this time.
