Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield split into quarters, with the first and fourth quarters showing the Anhalt-Bernburg family's symbols, while the second and third quarters display the symbols of the House of Ascania, which was a powerful noble family in the region. This coat of arms was specifically designed for Victor II Frederick, the ruler of Anhalt-Bernburg at the time the coin was minted, and it represents the union of the two families through his marriage to a member of the House of Ascania.
