Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg, which was minted between 1839 and 1840, features an image of Alexander Charles, the ruling duke at the time. What's interesting is that this coin was part of a joint coinage system between the various German states, which meant that the coin's design and denomination were standardized across different regions. This was done to facilitate trade and commerce across the different states, and it's a great example of early monetary cooperation in Europe.
