Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Anhalt is that it features four different rulers on its obverse side: Christian I, August, Rudolph, and Louis (also known as "Kipper"). This is a unique feature among coins of that time period, as it was not common for coins to have multiple rulers depicted on them.
