| Additional information |
Anhalt-Bernburg was among the smallest of the fractured German territories, and Victor II Frederick ruled it for barely a decade before the line died with him in 1765. The two-thirds thaler denomination itself was a pragmatic response to the dominance of the Dutch rijksdaalder in northern German trade — German mints adopted the format in the late seventeenth century specifically to produce a coin that could compete in regional commerce without conceding to foreign specie.
The Davenport reference places this firmly within the Saxon-standard series. Short reign, small territory, limited output.
