Comment
Slg. Wilm. 864, Hackl 31Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Joachim Ernest 1623 from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach (German States) made of Billon is that it features a unique combination of symbols and letters on its reverse side. The coin bears the letters "S • C • B • A" which stand for "Sigillum Civitatis Brandenburgensis Ansbachi" meaning "Seal of the City of Brandenburg-Ansbach". Additionally, the coin features a crescent moon and a star above the letters, which were added to the design to signify the coin's denomination. This specific design element was used during the reign of Joachim Ernest, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1603 to 1625.
