Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler "Konventionstaler" coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1773, just a few years before the introduction of the "Konventionsmünze," a new currency that was introduced to standardize coinage across the German states. This coin, therefore, represents a unique moment in the history of German currency and is a fascinating example of the economic and political changes that were taking place in the region during that time.
