Comment
Slg. Marienburg 1313Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - George Frederick I (Death) 1603 from Brandenburg-Franconia (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted to commemorate the death of George Frederick I, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach and Brandenburg-Kulmbach, who passed away in 1603. The coin features an image of George Frederick I on one side and an image of his wife, Sophie of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp, on the other. The coin was minted in silver, which was a valuable and durable metal at the time, and was widely used for currency and commemorative coins.
