Interesting fact
The 1½ Pfennig coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, featuring Victor II Frederick, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the German States. The coin was minted in 1747, just a few years before the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, which led to the formation of the Confederation of the Rhine and the eventual unification of Germany in 1871. This coin is a tangible piece of history that represents a significant period of transformation in German politics and society.
