Comment
Frank 132Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1764 Konventionstaler from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in Germany. The coin was introduced as part of a broader effort to standardize currency across the German states, and it featured a new, more modern design that was meant to reflect the growing influence of Enlightenment values in the region. Despite its innovative design, the coin was not widely accepted outside of the Margraviate, and it remains a rare and valuable collector's item to this day.
