Interesting fact
The 1751 August Louis 1/24 Thaler from Anhalt-Köthen (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of August Louis, who was the Prince of Anhalt-Köthen from 1727 until his death in 1755. During his reign, he implemented several reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features the prince's name and title on one side and the coat of arms of Anhalt-Köthen on the other. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was also a common practice during this time period. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
