Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, issued during the reign of Alexius Frederick Christian (1797-1799), features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a bee on the reverse side. This symbol was chosen to represent the principality's reputation for industry and hard work, as bees are known for their diligence and productivity. The inclusion of this emblem on the coin highlights the importance of these values in the region's culture and economy during that time.
