Interesting fact

The 1⁄24 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth was minted during the reign of Christian Ernest, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth from 1680 to 1711. The coin was made of silver and weighed 1.32 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design featured the Margrave's crowned coat of arms on one side and the Brandenburg eagle on the other. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during Christian Ernest's reign and was an important part of the local economy at that time.
