Comment
Slg. Wilm. 1128, Slg. Grüber 4696Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, who was a member of the House of Hohenzollern and ruled the Margraviate from 1759 to 1762. This period saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the emergence of new economic and political ideas, which had a significant impact on the way coins were minted and used. The 20 Kreuzers coin, made of silver and weighing 6.47 grams, is a tangible reminder of this fascinating period in history.
