ANHALT-DESSAU: Leopold Friedrich IV, 1817-1871, AR 2½ groschen, 1864-A, KM-97, J-70, AKS-62, historically significant, a wonderful lustrous mint state example, PCGS graded MS64. On November 27, 1847 Leopold inherited the Duchy of Anhalt-Köthen from his distant cousin Duke Henry. As a result of a treaty concluded with Anhalt-Bernburg in May 1853 his duchies were joined together and named Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen, because the eventual inheritance of Leopold over all the Anhalt duchies seemed inevitable. The death of distant cousin Duke Alexander Karl on August 19, 1863 resulted in the ruling line of the duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg becoming extinct; thus Leopold inherited that duchy. On August 30 he assumed the title "Duke of Anhalt."
