Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Anhalt, minted in 1573 during the reign of Joachim Ernest, features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "A" inside, which represents the principality's capital city of Anhalt. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design feature is a distinct characteristic of coins minted during Joachim Ernest's reign and sets them apart from other coins of the time.
