Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Joachim Ernest, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, who ruled from 1603 until his death in 1625. The coin's design features an image of Joachim Ernest on the obverse, and an image of his tomb on the reverse. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early 17th-century German numismatics, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item among numismatists and historians.
