| Additional information |
Victor II Frederick ruled Anhalt-Bernburg for just four years, from 1757 to 1765, a reign that fell entirely within the Seven Years' War — a conflict that devastated the small Saxon principalities through repeated military occupation, forced contributions, and disrupted trade. Ducats struck under his name are consequently scarce; the principality had neither the resources nor the stability for sustained gold coinage.
Mann 587 is the standard reference for this type, with KM 54 cross-referencing the same die pairing.
