Historical Context: Issued in 1767, this 4 Groschens coin originates from the Principality of Anhalt-Zerbst, a minor German state ruled by Frederick Augustus (1747-1793), brother of Empress Catherine the Great of Russia. The year 1767, following the Seven Years' War, saw German territories stabilizing. This denomination served as a practical medium for local commerce, reflecting his sovereignty and the principality's economic activity in a complex post-war landscape.
Artistry: Engraver attribution for this issue is typically unrecorded. The coin’s design reflects the prevailing late Baroque aesthetic, transitioning towards early Neoclassicism common in German states
