⅙ Thaler - Victor II Frederick Seven Years' War

Anhalt-Bernburg was a minor Saxon principality with virtually no military capacity of its own, yet the Seven Years' War pulled it directly into the conflict as Prussian and Austrian armies repeatedly crossed its territory. Victor II Frederick issued emergency fractional thalers in 1758 to address the practical collapse of small-denomination liquidity — armies requisitioned coin as readily as grain. Mann 628a distinguishes this variety within what is otherwise a tightly clustered group of 1758 Bernburg fractions.
