Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth is that it features an image of Charles Alexander, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, on one side, and an image of the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Charles Alexander's reign from 1782 to 1783 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States.
