| Additional information |
Victor II Frederick ruled Anhalt-Bernburg from 1721 until his death in 1765, a reign long enough to produce several taler fractions across multiple denominations. The 1/6 thaler denomination was a workhorse of mid-eighteenth century German silver coinage, circulating widely across the fragmented principalities of the Holy Roman Empire where smaller fractions moved more freely through daily commerce than full taler pieces. Anhalt-Bernburg's mint output during this period was modest, constrained by the principality's limited silver resources compared to the major Saxon and Prussian mints operating nearby.
