| Additional information |
Alexius Frederick Christian ruled Anhalt-Bernburg from 1796 until his death in 1834, but this copper pfennig belongs to the very opening of his reign — a transitional moment when the small German principality was navigating the political turbulence preceding the Napoleonic reorganization of the Reich. The Holy Roman Empire would dissolve a decade later, sweeping away dozens of minor issuing authorities like Anhalt-Bernburg's own mint rights.
The two-year window of this type's production, 1796–1797, is narrow enough that surviving examples in any grade are genuinely scarce in the open market.
