Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldenthaler coin from Brandenburg-Franconia is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "G" in the center, which represents the name of the ruler, George Frederick I. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, which was the ruling dynasty of Brandenburg-Franconia at the time. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it easily recognizable to collectors and historians.
