Comment
Fischer-Maué 3.627, Frank 99Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Gymnasium (a type of school) founded by Charles William Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. The coin features an image of the Margrave on one side and the Gymnasium building on the other. This coin is a rare example of a commemorative coin minted specifically to honor an educational institution.
