Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Anhalt is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during a time of political turmoil in the region, and the inclusion of multiple rulers on the coin may have been a way to symbolize the unity and stability of the principality during this period.
