Comment
Varieties exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Brandenburg-Franconia is that it features an image of Albert II, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, on one side, and the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern on the other. This coin was minted during Albert's reign from 1548 to 1553 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted as a medium of exchange.
