Comment
Mintmaster - Johann Jakob EbenauerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles William Frederick, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1740 to 1750. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and the margraviate became a sovereign state. The coin's gold content and weight also reflect the economic and monetary changes that were taking place during this time.
