Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 37th birthday of Victor II Frederick, the ruler of the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, which was a small state within the German States. The coin's design features an image of Victor II Frederick on one side and an image of his wife, Princess Albertine of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, on the other. This coin is a rare example of a circulating commemorative coin from the 18th century, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
