| Additional information |
Brandenburg-Ansbach came under Christian Frederick Charles Alexander in 1757, but the margraviate was effectively insolvent for much of his reign, its finances gutted by the Seven Years' War. The Konventionstaler standard — established by the 1753 Vienna Convention between Austria and Bavaria — gave German states a common silver coinage framework, and Ansbach's adoption of it was as much a credibility exercise as a practical one. Alexander would eventually cede the entire territory to Prussia in 1791, a private transaction with Frederick William II that extinguished the Ansbach line entirely.
