Comment
Neustadt/Aisch or Schwabach mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Schilling coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth is that it features an image of John IV Alchimysta, also known as John IV, Margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, who was a prominent figure in the German Renaissance and an avid supporter of the arts and sciences. He was known for his interest in alchemy, which is reflected in the coin's design, and his reign saw the establishment of several educational institutions and artistic programs.
