1 Thaler - George and Albert II

Brandenburg-Franconia occupied an awkward administrative position within the Holy Roman Empire — a Hohenzollern cadet branch holding the Franconian Burggraviate while the senior Berlin line held Electoral dignity. George and Albert II ruled jointly under the fraternal co-regency arrangements common to the dynasty, a governance model that frequently produced parallel coinages and complicated succession disputes. This thaler was struck across nearly a decade of joint rule, meaning die variations across the Schrötter range 673–734 are substantial and attributing individual pieces to specific years within that window remains genuinely difficult.
