Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features an image of Charles William Frederick, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, on one side, and an image of the Brandenburg-Ansbach coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes the motto "Virtus Nobilitat" which means "Virtue Ennobles" in Latin. This suggests that the coin was meant to symbolize the importance of virtue and nobility in the region.
