Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg is that it features an image of Joachim II Hector, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg from 1506 until his death in 1571. He was a member of the House of Hohenzollern and played a significant role in the history of Brandenburg and the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver also reflect the importance of trade and commerce during this time period in Europe.
