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 1774, just a few years before the introduction of the "Reichsbank" - the first national bank of Germany - which was established in 1785. This period saw a shift away from the use of local currencies, like the Thaler, and towards a more standardized national currency. The "Konventionstaler" coin, made of silver, was one of the last coins minted before this transition, making it a unique piece of history.
