Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Pfennige - Alexius Frederick Christian 1822-1823 from Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg (Anhalt-Bernburg, German States) made of Copper weighing 6.95 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Alexius Frederick Christian, who ruled the Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg from 1822 to 1823. During this period, the German states were in the process of adopting a new currency, the Vereinsthaler, which was introduced in 1857 and replaced the various local currencies that were in use at the time. This coin, therefore, represents a transitional period in the history of German currency and is a unique piece of numismatic history.
