Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs coin from Anhalt-Zerbst is that it features an image of Frederick August, the ruler of the principality of Anhalt-Zerbst, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the principality. This coin was minted in 1767 and was made of Billon, an alloy of copper and silver, which was commonly used for coinage during that time period. Despite its small denomination, the coin has a rich history and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
