Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. Joachim II Ernest and Bernhard VII were co-rulers of the principality from 1568 to 1570, and their joint portrait on the coin is a rare example of a dual-ruler design in numismatics. This coin is a testament to the complex political landscape of the German States during the Renaissance period.
