Comment

Mintmaster - Johann Jakob Ebenauer

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles William Frederick Ansbach, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1703 until his death in 1737. He was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the economy of the Margraviate, and the minting of this coin may have been a part of those efforts. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of Justice, may reflect the Margrave's interest in promoting justice and fairness within his territory.
