Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was part of a joint coinage between the Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg and the other German states, which was established in 1856 and lasted until 1864. This coin was minted during that time and features Alexander Charles, the ruling duke of Anhalt-Bernburg, on one side and the coat of arms of the German states on the other. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it helped to reduce the cost of production while still maintaining the value of the coin.
