Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Ducats coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique triple portrait of the three ruling margraves, Frederick, Albert, and Christian, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the margraviate. This triple portrait design was a rare feature in coinage during that time period, making the coin a notable and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
