Slg. Grüber 4684Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1780 Konventionstaler from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, who was a member of the House of Hohenzollern and ruled the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1757 until his death in 1791. During his reign, the Margraviate faced significant economic challenges, including inflation and debt, which led to the introduction of new currency reforms and the minting of coins like the Konventionstaler. Despite these challenges, the Konventionstaler remained a popular and widely used coin throughout the German States during this time period.
