Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin was minted during the reign of Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, who was the Margrave (or ruler) of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1757 until his death in 1791. This was a time of great political and social upheaval, with the American Revolution taking place across the Atlantic and the French Revolution just a few years away. Despite these challenges, the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach continued to mint coins like this one, which were used for trade and commerce within the region.
