Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from Anhalt-Zerbst, minted in 1766 during the reign of Frederick August, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the state, this coin bears an image of a beehive, surrounded by the words "Friedrich August, Fürst von Anhalt-Zerbst" (Frederick August, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst). This unique design was meant to symbolize the importance of industry and hard work, as bees are known for their diligence and cooperation in collecting nectar and pollen to produce honey.
