Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ 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 represents the name of the ruler, Victor II Frederick. This shield is placed above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin, adding an extra layer of detail and symbolism to the design.
