Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1742 Anhalt-Zerbst 1 Ducat coin is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, John Louis and Christian August, who were brothers and co-regents of the principality of Anhalt-Zerbst. This double portrait design was a departure from the traditional single-ruler portraits seen on most coins of the time, and it symbolized the unity and cooperation between the two brothers in governing their territory.
