Comment
Mule of two coin's reverses
obv. = rev. of KM#125, Dav ST#6255 (very rare)
rev. = rev of KM#119, Dav ST#6249
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "mule" design, which refers to a coin that combines the obverse (front) of one coin and the reverse (back) of another coin. In this case, the obverse of the coin features George Frederick II, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach. This unusual design was likely created as a result of a mistake or error during the minting process, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
