| Additional information |
Anhalt-Bernburg was one of the smallest and most financially strained of the Ernestine subdivisions, and its copper pfennig issues of this period were minted primarily to address chronic shortages of low-denomination coinage rather than from any position of fiscal strength. Frederick Albert ruled from 1765 until his death in 1796, and the principality was absorbed into Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym shortly after — making this a coin of a political entity that effectively ceased to exist within a generation of its striking.
