Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - Joachim II Ernest and Bernhard VII. This double portrait design was a common feature of coins issued during this time period in the German States, symbolizing the unity and cooperation between the two ruling families.
