Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "C.F.C.A." (for Christian Frederick Charles Alexander) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
