Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth is that it features an image of Frederick Christian, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, on one side, and an image of the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1766 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a common practice in many parts of Europe during this period, as it was seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
