Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Groschen coin from the Principality of Anhalt is that it features five different rulers: John George II, Victor Amadeus, William, Charles William, and Emanuel Lebrecht. This is unusual because most coins typically feature only one ruler or a single ruling family. The fact that this coin features five different rulers suggests that it was issued during a time of political instability or a period of rapid succession of rulers.
