Historical Context: This 16 Pfennigs/4 Groschen/5 Kreuzers coin was issued in 1764 under Frederick August, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst (1747-1793). The mid-18th century, post-Seven Years' War, presented economic strain and political complexity within the Holy Roman Empire. As a minor principality, Anhalt-Zerbst issued this billon coinage for local transactional needs. Its multiple denominations highlight the intricate, often overlapping monetary systems common across German States, reflecting regional and imperial standards.

Artistry: The coin's design, typical for German princely issues, likely originated from an unrecorded local mint engraver.
