Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Harzgerode, minted between 1675 and 1679, features an interesting design on its reverse side. It depicts a crowned eagle holding a scepter and a shield with the coat of arms of the Principality, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was a common motif in coins of the German States during that period, symbolizing the power and authority of the ruling dynasty.
