Comment
Minted during the Seven Years' WarKünker Auction 320 Lot 5080
Even though this coin depicts the year 1754 it was under no circumstances minted in 1754 but rather in 1758 or afterwards.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which was a global conflict that involved many European powers, including the German states. The Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, where this coin was minted, was a small state located in what is now the state of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. Despite its small size, the principality played a significant role in the war, providing troops and resources to the Prussian army. The coin itself is a testament to the economic and political significance of the principality during this time period.
