Interesting fact
The ⅙ Thaler coin from Anhalt-Zerbst, minted in 1766 during the reign of Frederick August, was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to feature a standardized design across different German states. This was a significant step towards creating a unified currency system in Germany, which was later achieved with the introduction of the German Mark in 1871.
