| Additional information |
Brandenburg-Ansbach's autonomy as a Hohenzollern cadet territory was already precarious by 1764 — the margraviate would eventually be absorbed into Prussia in 1791 when the last ruling margrave, this very Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, ceded it to his cousin Frederick William II in exchange for a generous Prussian pension. The Konventionstaler denomination itself was the product of the 1753 Munich Convention between Austria and Bavaria, which fixed the standard at 10 thalers per Cologne mark of silver, and most smaller German states scrambled to align with it over the following decade.
Wilmersdörffer's corpus lists this type as scarce in mint state; circulation examples predominate.
