Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth is that it features an image of Frederick III, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth from 1735 until his death in 1763. He was a member of the House of Hohenzollern, which was a powerful noble family in Germany and Europe during the time. The coin's design was likely meant to promote the Margraviate's allegiance to the Hohenzollern dynasty and to showcase Frederick III's authority and influence in the region.
