1⁄48 Thaler - Frederick Albert

Anhalt-Bernburg was one of the smallest and most financially constrained of the Saxon-line principalities, and its billon fractional issues of the 1790s were minted largely to address chronic small-change shortages rather than any particular monetary ambition. Frederick Albert ruled from 1765 until his death in 1796, leaving this among the final issues of his reign. The Mann#702a designation points to a specific die pairing documented in Hermann Mann's reference work on Anhalt coinage — a publication that remains the authoritative source for distinguishing the numerous near-identical fractional varieties from this court.
