Comment
Slg. Wilmersdörffer 701Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of George William, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, who passed away in 1726. The coin's design features an image of George William on the obverse, and an image of an angel holding a crown and a scepter on the reverse. The coin's silver content and small weight of 3.8 grams make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
