Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1825 Ausbeute-Harzgold-Dukat coin from the Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Alexius Frederick Christian, who ruled the duchy from 1796 until his death in 1834. During his reign, the duchy underwent significant economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which replaced the old system of thalers and groschen with a new system based on the gold ducat. This coin, with its high gold content and elegant design, reflects the duchy's efforts to modernize its economy and increase its economic influence in the region.
