Comment
Minted in the name of Christiane Charlotte as regent to her underage son Karl Wilhelm Friedrich.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 hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to indicate that it was made of pure silver, as the metal was valuable and the hole allowed the coin to be easily tested for its authenticity. This feature is known as a "proof hole" and was a common practice in the production of silver coins during that time period.
