Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which stands for "Friedrich," the name of the ruler at the time, John Frederick. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a notable collector's item for numismatists.
