Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the reign of Frederick I, the first ruler of the House of Ascania, who ruled Anhalt-Dessau from 1817 to 1871. The coin's design features an image of Frederick I on the obverse and the Anhalt-Dessau coat of arms on the reverse. The use of silver in the coin's composition and the relatively low mintage of 20,000 pieces make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
