Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - John Frederick 1679 coin from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "J.F." (for Johann Friedrich) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same era and denomination, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
