| Additional information |
Brandenburg-Franconia's joint coinage under Casimir and George reflects the peculiar dynastic arrangement following the 1515 partition of the Hohenzollern Franconian territories between the two brothers. Rather than dividing the minting operation, they struck coins in both names simultaneously — a practical accommodation that lasted until Casimir's death in 1527 effectively ended the arrangement.
Fr#307 is among the scarcer Franconian gold issues of the period, with surviving examples concentrated in German institutional collections.
