1 Guldenthaler - George Frederick I

George Frederick I ruled Brandenburg-Ansbach and Kulmbach from 1557, and his guldenthaler issues of this period reflect the broader standardization pressures following the Imperial Coin Ordinances of the 1550s and 1560s, which attempted — with mixed success — to bring the fragmented coinage of the German states into conformity. Brandenburg-Franconia's mint output in these years was centered at Schwabach and Kulmbach, the latter having operated intermittently under difficult administrative conditions.

Dav SG#14 places this squarely within the South German guldenthaler sequence, distinct from the reichsthaler standard.
