Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "C" and "B" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Christian, Margrave of Brandenburg" (German: "Christian, Markgraf von Brandenburg"). This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate the coin's issuing authority and to differentiate it from other coins circulating in the region.
