Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "A.C." (Alexander Charles) above the crown on the obverse side. This addition was a personal touch added by the Duke Alexander Charles, who ruled the Duchy from 1855 until his death in 1863. This coin was minted during his reign, making it a distinctive and memorable piece of numismatic history.
