Comment
Mintmaster Christian Gotter - ZerbstInteresting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt, minted during the reign of Joachim Ernest (1570-1580), features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a wild boar on the reverse side. This image was chosen as a symbol of strength and bravery, reflecting the importance of hunting and wild game management in the region during that time period.
