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 subtle detail adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, as it personalizes the coin and highlights the importance of the ruler who issued it.
