| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central scepter shield displayed within a pointed quatrefoil frame, with a small heraldic shield of arms positioned at each of the four points of the quatrefoil. The composition reflects the armorial tradition of the Brandenburg Margraves, with the interior shield serving as the primary dynastic emblem. The surrounding field is plain, with the heraldic devices rendered in the high-relief style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century German hammered gold coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the coin's periphery, identifying the issuer. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Joachim II Hector is a pivotal figure in Brandenburg's religious history — he formally introduced Lutheranism to the Margraviate in 1539, later than most German Protestant territories, partly due to his calculated reluctance to alienate Charles V. His reign also saw Brandenburg accumulate serious debt, much of it financed through the Hohenzollern practice of pawning territories and mining rights. Gold gulden of this period were instruments of that financial system as much as they were currency.
The Fr#2132 attribution places this within Friedberg's Gold Coins of the World, a reference that acknowledges how thinly documented many Brandenburg gold issues of the 1550s remain.
