| Additional information |
Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, the last Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, ceded his territories to Prussia in 1791 — making coins of his reign some of the final issues of an independent Ansbach. He abdicated in exchange for a lifetime pension and retired to England with his mistress, Lady Craven, whom he later married. The tiny billon pfennig of 1779 predates that arrangement by over a decade, struck when the margraviate still functioned as a going concern, though its finances were perpetually strained.
