| Aversbeschreibung | A draped allegorical female figure stands facing left in the field, her arms outstretched in a gesture of supplication or thanksgiving toward a radiant sunburst breaking through clouds in the upper portion of the design. To her right stands a cylindrical altar or pedestal surmounted by a mural crown and adorned with a laurel branch, beside which rests a shield bearing a displayed eagle. A Gothic-script legend arcs along the upper rim reading 'Dem der die Herzen lenkt' (To Him who guides hearts), and in the lower exergue the inscription 'Teschen den 13. May 1779' records the date and place of the Peace of Teschen. The overall composition is rendered in a refined late-Baroque engraving style with fine detail throughout. |

This coin commemorates the Peace of Teschen, signed in May 1779, which ended the brief War of the Bavarian Succession — a conflict fought largely through diplomatic maneuvering rather than pitched battle, with Prussia and Austria contesting control of Bavaria after the death of Maximilian III Joseph. The settlement was brokered in part through French and Russian mediation, a rare instance of Catherine the Great intervening decisively in a German dynastic dispute.
Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, the last Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, issued this piece just thirteen years before ceding his territories outright to Prussia in 1791 — an abdication he accepted in exchange for a pension and the freedom to leave for England with his mistress, Lady Craven.
