1 Vereinsthaler - Leopold Frederick

Anhalt-Dessau was one of several Anhalt subdivisions that merged into the unified Duchy of Anhalt in 1863, making Leopold Frederick's continued coinage after that date administratively anomalous. He reigned as the last independent ruler of Dessau until the consolidation took full effect, and these late thalers were struck essentially as a formality — the political entity issuing them had already been absorbed. The Vereinsthaler standard itself was codified by the Vienna Monetary Treaty of 1857, fixing the coin's weight and fineness across the German states.

Production ceased in 1869, two years before German unification rendered the entire Vereinsthaler series obsolete.
