Comment
Minted in the name of Christiane Charlotte as regent to her underage son Karl Wilhelm Friedrich.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process and was used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was meant to ensure that the coin was made of pure silver and not a counterfeit. This feature is quite rare in coins from that time period and adds to the coin's historical significance and value.
