Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg was a small state in what is now Germany, and the coin was minted during the reign of Frederick Albert, who ruled from 1793 to 1796. This was a period of significant upheaval, as the French Revolution was taking place and the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg was able to maintain its independence and mint its own coins, such as this 1/48 Thaler.
