Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Augustus, the ruler of Anhalt-Zerbst, on one side, and an image of the coat of arms of the state on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with a diagonal stripe, which represents the division of the state into two parts: Anhalt-Zerbst and Anhalt-Dessau. This design element serves as a visual representation of the political structure of the state during that time.
