Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique triangular shape, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted during the reign of Frederick, Albert, and Christian in the early 17th century. This shape was chosen to differentiate the coin from other circulating currencies and to symbolize the unity of the three rulers. The coin's design also includes an image of the three rulers on one side and the coat of arms of the Margraviate on the other.
