1/3 Thaler - Victor II Frederick

Victor Friedrich ruled Anhalt-Bernburg from 1721 until his death in 1765, presiding over a principality too small to mint with any regularity. The 1/3 Thaler denomination — equal to eight Groschen — was a practical division used across much of northern Germany during the mid-eighteenth century, when fragmented coinage systems among the smaller German states created chronic exchange headaches for merchants moving between territories.

Mann#608 places this squarely within a thin run of silver issues from the Bernburg mint. Surviving examples in any grade are infrequently encountered.
