Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1794 1/48 Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which stands for "Friedrich," the German name for Frederick Albert, the ruler of the principality at the time the coin was minted. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
