Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features five different rulers, which is unusual for a single coin. The coin was issued during a time of political turmoil in the Principality of Anhalt, and it's possible that the inclusion of multiple rulers was a way to symbolize the unity and stability of the region.
