| Additional information |
Brandenburg-Ansbach's tiny silver kreuzer issues of the 1760s were a direct consequence of the monetary chaos unleashed by the Seven Years' War, during which debased coinage flooded German markets and smaller territories scrambled to assert the credibility of their own circulation. Christian Frederick Charles Alexander — who would later surrender the margraviate entirely to Prussia in 1791 — maintained a mint at Schwabach for much of his reign, where fractional silver of this type was produced in quantity for local trade use.
