Interesting fact

The 1 Pfenning coin from Anhalt-Zerbst, minted in 1766 during the reign of Frederick August, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The word "ZERBST" is misspelled as "ZERBSTI," with an extra letter "I" at the end. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
