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 in 1786 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a common practice in many parts of Europe during this period, as it was a symbol of wealth and stability. The fact that this coin has survived for over two centuries and is still in circulation today is a testament to its historical significance and the enduring value of silver as a precious metal.
