Comment
Slg. Wilm 857Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Joachim Ernest, who was a member of the House of Hohenzollern and ruled the Margraviate from 1622 to 1625. During his reign, the Margraviate was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the 4 Kreuzers coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity in trade and commerce.
