Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Anhalt-Bernburg features an image of Alexius Frederick Christian, the ruling prince of the principality from 1796 to 1797. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the French Revolution and its aftermath causing political and economic upheaval across the continent. Despite this, the coin's design remained relatively unchanged from previous issues, with the prince's image still featured prominently on the obverse (front) side. This coin is a testament to the resilience and stability of the Anhalt-Bernburg principality during a time of great uncertainty.
