Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the marriage of Christian Ernest, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, to Sophie Luise of Württemberg in 1671. The coin features an image of the couple on one side and the Margraviate's coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a commemorative coin from the German States, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
