Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Albert of Brandenburg Thaler coin is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "A" on the reverse side, which represents the initial of the bishop who issued the coin, Albert of Hohenzollern. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it easily recognizable to collectors and historians.
