Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features an image of Charles William Frederick, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, on one side, and a depiction of the Brandenburg-Ansbach coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with the symbols of the House of Hohenzollern, the ruling dynasty of Brandenburg-Ansbach, and the motto "Gott mit uns" (God with us) written above it. This coin was minted in 1756 and made of silver, which was a common material for coins at that time.
