1 Pfennig - Woldemar VI, Ernest, Rudolph, Sigmung III and George II

Anhalt's joint coinage issues of this period reflect the principality's persistent habit of ruling by committee — the five princes named on this piece governed concurrently under the division established after the death of George I in 1474, a fraternal arrangement that produced a confusing overlap of issues before consolidation under fewer hands by the late 1480s. The sheer number of co-rulers crammed into a single low-denomination issue made standardization across mints difficult, and minor die variations within MB#1 are well documented by Mann.
