Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Anhalt (German States) is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during the reign of John George I, Christian I, August, Rudolph, and Louis, who were all members of the House of Ascania, a noble dynasty that ruled Anhalt from the 13th to the 20th century. This coin is a rare example of a coin that features multiple rulers, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
