Comment
Mintmaster - Peter Anton KolbInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was issued during the reign of Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1757 until his death in 1791. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was a deliberate choice, as it was a symbol of wealth and prosperity, and it was also more resistant to wear and tear than other metals. The coin's silver content also made it a popular choice for trade and commerce, as it was widely recognized and valued throughout Europe.
