Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Anhalt is that it features four different rulers on its obverse side: Christian I, August, Rudolph, and Louis (also known as Kipper). This is a unique feature among coins of that time period, as it was common for coins to only feature one ruler. The fact that four rulers are featured on this coin suggests that it was a special issue or commemorative coin, possibly minted to celebrate a significant event or anniversary.
