Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, issued in 1635 during the reign of Christian II, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms combines the symbols of the House of Ascania, to which Christian II belonged, with the emblem of the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, featuring a bear rampant. This distinctive blend of symbols highlights the complex history and political alliances of the region during that time.
