Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, where the coin was minted, was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the economic and political changes taking place in the region during the mid-18th century. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
