Comment

Minted during the Seven Years' War

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), a global conflict that involved many European powers, including the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg. The coin's obverse side features an image of Victor II Frederick, the ruler of Anhalt-Bernburg at the time, who played a significant role in the war. The coin's mintage was likely used to help finance the principality's military efforts during the conflict.
