Comment
This type differs from the later 1/3 thaler (see link) in the different wall obverse, and the use of the banner for the obverse legend (see link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which stands for "Friedrich," the name of the ruling prince at the time, Victor II Frederick. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a notable collector's item for numismatists.
