Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features five different rulers on its obverse side, which is a unique feature among coins. The five rulers represented are John George II, Victor Amadeus, William, Charles William, and Emanuel Lebrecht, all of whom were princes of the Principality of Anhalt, a small German state that existed from the 14th century until 1918. This coin was minted in 1670, during a time when the Principality of Anhalt was experiencing significant political and economic changes, including the introduction of a new coinage system. The fact that the coin features multiple rulers suggests that it may have been intended to symbolize the unity and stability of the principality during a period of transition.
