1 Pfennig - Charles Alexander

Charles Alexander inherited Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1757 and spent the following decades accumulating debts that would eventually force his hand. In 1791 he sold the entire margraviate to Prussia — negotiating himself a comfortable pension in London, where he died in 1806 — making these pfennig among the last independent coinage of a territory that ceased to exist as a sovereign entity within a decade of their striking.
