Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Germany. The Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and in 1779, it was facing political and economic challenges. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that the ruling margrave, Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, was committed to promoting peace and stability in the region. The coin's design, which features an image of the margrave on one side and a peaceful scene on the other, reinforces this message of peace and tranquility.
