Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "A" on the reverse side, which represents the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, the ruling dynasty of Brandenburg-Ansbach. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance by the Margraviate and to distinguish it from other coins issued by neighboring territories.
