Comment
Slg. Grüber 4211 var.; Slg. Wilm. 866Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was minted during the reign of Frederick, Albert, and Christian, who were all members of the House of Hohenzollern and ruled the Margraviate from 1625 to 1632. During this time, the region was experiencing significant economic growth and trade, and the coin was likely used to facilitate this commerce. Additionally, the coin's gold content and intricate design would have made it a valuable and prestigious item for those who owned it.
