1 Thaler - Joachim Ernest

Joachim Ernest ruled Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1603 until his death in 1625, navigating the fractious confessional politics of the Holy Roman Empire during the years immediately preceding the Thirty Years' War. His thalers of this period were struck at the Schwabach mint, which served the margraviate as its primary silver coining facility throughout the early seventeenth century.

Davenport's attribution ST#6226 places this squarely within the broader Brandenburg thaler sequence, though Ansbach issues are frequently conflated with those of the sister margraviate of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, with which it shared administrative and dynastic ties under the Hohenzollern line.
