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, the ruler of the region at the time, on one side, and the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in the region, as the Margraviate of Brandenburg was in the process of becoming a Protestant state, and the coin's design reflects this shift in power and influence.
