Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, minted between 1795 and 1796, features an image of Frederick Albert, the ruling prince of the principality at the time. The coin was made of silver with a purity of .833, which means it contains 83.3% silver and 16.7% other metals. It weighs 28.06 grams and has a diameter of 39 millimeters.

This was a departure from the traditional royal portraiture that was common on coins at the time. The reverse of the coin features a wreath of oak leaves and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing strength and unity. Overall, the 1 Thaler coin from Anhalt-Bernburg is a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history, reflecting the political and cultural influences of its time.
