Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique triangular shape, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted during the reign of Frederick, Albert, and Christian in the early 17th century. This shape was chosen to prevent the coin from being easily counterfeited, and it has become a distinctive characteristic of coins from this era.
