Mintmaster - Georg Nürnberger junior

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Albert 1663 from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Albert II, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1662 until his death in 1667. During his reign, Albert II implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy of the region. The 1 Ducat coin was part of this new system and was widely used throughout the German States during this time period.
