| Beschrijving voorzijde | A spread Brandenburg eagle displayed in high relief, its head crowned and turned to the right, occupies the entire field. The breast bears an escutcheon charged with the quartered Hohenzollern arms. The initials B and O, separated by the eagle's crown, appear in the upper field to either side of the head, serving as a mint or administrative mark. The coin's border is formed by a fine toothed or beaded rim. No legend is present; the design fills the flan in a bold, Germanic baroque style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brandenburg-Ansbach issued small copper pfennig denominations throughout the mid-eighteenth century largely to address chronic shortages of petty coinage in the Franconian markets. Charles William Frederick — known to contemporaries as "the Wild Margrave" for his erratic governance and famously difficult temperament — died in 1757, meaning this 1752 piece falls within his final years of rule. His reign saw persistent fiscal strain, partly driven by his extravagant court spending at Ansbach.
The margraviate was absorbed into Prussia in 1791 after the last margrave ceded it to Frederick William II without an heir.
