Additional information

Ernest I, Rudolph IV, and Wolfgang ruled Anhalt jointly following the dynastic consolidation of the Ascanian branches in the early sixteenth century — a period when the principality was fragmenting authority even as it nominally unified it. This pfennig reflects that uneasy co-regency, struck across two years before Wolfgang's premature death in 1509 effectively ended the trio. Joint-name issues from Anhalt of this period are short-lived almost by definition, and the 1508–1509 window is narrow enough that surviving examples carrying all three names represent a specific, bounded political moment rather than a sustained coinage program.
