| Additional information |
Alexander Carl was the last ruling Duke of Anhalt-Bernburg, a line that extinguished with his death in 1863 — just months after this coin's final year of issue. The "Ausbeute" designation marks it as a mining-revenue piece, struck specifically from silver extracted at the duchy's Harzgerode mines, a practice that gave the issuing authority both a revenue stream and a prestige commemorative in one strike.
Anhalt-Bernburg was absorbed into the unified Duchy of Anhalt in 1863, making this one of the final independent coinages from the line.
