Interesting fact

The ⅙ Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, minted during the reign of Victor II Frederick (1746-1752), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Anhalt-Bernburg coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a common motif in coins of the German States during that period, symbolizing the unity and strength of the region.
