Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or numerical value, the coin bears an image of a crowned eagle holding a scepter and a shield with the initials "A" and "C" (for Alexander Charles) on either side. This design was specifically chosen to commemorate the reign of Duke Alexander Charles of Anhalt-Bernburg, who ruled from 1861 to 1862.
