Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from Brandenburg-Franconia is that it features an image of Albert II, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, on one side, and the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the complex power dynamics of the region during that period.
