Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles William Frederick (Marriage) 1754 coin from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted to commemorate the marriage of Charles William Frederick, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, to Princess Elizabeth Louise of Saxe-Meiningen in 1754. The coin's design features an image of the couple on the obverse side, surrounded by an ornate border, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach. The use of gold in the coin's minting adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
