Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, while the reverse bears the coat of arms of the margraviate. The coin was minted in 1786 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. It's worth noting that the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage issued by the margraviate was used for local trade and commerce. The 2½ Kreuzer coin was likely used for everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the region during the late 18th century.
