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.E." (for Christian Ernest) located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail distinguishes it from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
