| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a square punch applied to the diamond-shaped klippe flan, the quartered Hohenzollern arms are displayed on a shield, the upper and lower quarters alternately plain and semy of ermine, flanked on either side by the divided date 15-53. Above the shield, within the same square punch, the Latin initials A. M. Z. B. (Albertus Marchio Zu Brandenburg) appear as the legend. Small decorative stops punctuate the inscription. The entire device is contained within the recessed square punch, leaving the surrounding klippe field unworked. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This half thaler was struck during the Second Margrave War of 1552–1554, when Albert Alcibiades of Brandenburg-Ansbach besieged the Free Imperial City of Schweinfurt — one of several violent confrontations in his ultimately ruinous campaign against the Nuremberg-led coalition. Schweinfurt held out, and Albert's military adventures ended in imperial outlawry and exile. Siege coinages from this conflict are irregular by nature, produced under field conditions with whatever silver was available.
The Schröttler reference 785a distinguishes this from the related 785 variety. Weight variation across known examples is notable, consistent with ad hoc production.
