Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features an image of Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, also known as the "Peaceful Prince," who ruled the region from 1757 until his death in 1791. The coin was minted in 1779, during his reign, and the image of the prince on the coin was meant to symbolize his commitment to peace and prosperity for his people.
