Taler, noodmunt voor het leger van markgraaf Albert van Brandenburg-Kulmbach, kort na het Verdrag van Passau geslagen, mogelijk tijdens de belegering van Schweinfurt. 1553

This is a silver taler, or coin, minted in 1553 for the army of Margrave Albert of Brandenburg-Kulmbach. The obverse side features a coat of arms, likely that of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, with the date and initials “A.M.Z.” The coin was likely minted during the siege of Schweinfurt, shortly after the Treaty of Passau, a significant moment in the history of the Holy Roman Empire. These small yet historically significant coins offer a glimpse into the military and political landscape of 16th-century Europe.
