Comment
Bernheimer 247; Slg. Grüber 4419Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the marriage of Charles William Frederick, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, to his first wife, Friederike Luise of Prussia, in 1729. The coin features an image of the couple on one side and the Margraviate's coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a commemorative coin from the German States period, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
