Comment
Slg. Grüber 4111Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "C.R." (Circuli Ratione) in the center of the reverse side. This shield was added to indicate that the coin was issued according to the "Circuli Ratione" standard, which was a standardized system of coinage introduced by the Holy Roman Empire in the early 17th century to ensure consistent weight and purity of coins across different regions. The use of this shield on the coin highlights the importance of standardization in the minting process and the efforts of the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach to adhere to these standards.
