| Obverse description | Central device depicts the crowned Anhalt bear passant to the right, rendered in fine detail with textured fur, standing atop a crenellated wall symbolizing the fortifications of Bernburg. Above the bear, a ribbon banner carries the Latin motto PERRUMPENDUM ('it must be broken through') in raised lettering. The field is plain, with no inner circle, allowing the bold heraldic charge to dominate the flan. The overall composition is typical of early eighteenth-century German milled coinage, combining dynastic symbolism with baroque artistic vigour. |
