Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued by John III Sigismund, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg from 1612 to 1615. During his reign, he implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the economy and increasing trade, which helped to stimulate the growth of the region. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 1.63 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
