Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, which was the ruling dynasty of Brandenburg at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the connection between the Margraviate and the Hohenzollern family.
