Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Joachim Ernest, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, who ruled from 1603 until his death in 1625. The coin features an image of Joachim Ernest on one side and an image of the Brandenburg-Ansbach coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in silver, which was a valuable and durable metal at the time, and was widely used for coinage throughout Europe.
