Comment

Mintmaster Johann Jacob Ebenauer.

Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach was minted during the reign of Charles William Frederick, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1752 to 1753. The coin was made of copper and weighed 1.67 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant piece of history, as it represents a time when the German states were still separate and independent entities, before they were unified under a single government in the late 19th century. Today, the coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Germany and its currency.
