4 Pfennig - Victor II Frederick

Victor Friedrich ruled Anhalt-Bernburg for over four decades, but his small billon issues of the late 1740s fall into one of the quieter corners of German numismatics — the fractional pfennig coinage of the minor Ernestine and Ascanian principalities that circulated alongside, and frequently against, the heavier Saxon and Prussian issues flooding the same regional markets. Billon at this denomination was already a grudging concession to copper's practicality.
