| Additional information |
Christian Frederick Charles Alexander ruled Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1757 until his abdication in 1791, when he ceded the margraviate to Prussia and retired to England with his mistress Lady Craven — one of the more unusual exits in German princely history. This 1773 Konventionstaler was struck under the monetary convention system established between Bavaria and Austria in 1753, which standardized the thaler at 10 per Cologne mark of silver and gave the type its name.
Ansbach's mint output under Alexander was modest, and the Davenport reference places this precisely within the broader German convention coinage framework that dominated south German states through the late eighteenth century.
