From the collection of GK.
When the male line of Anhalt-Zerbst died out with the passing of Prince Frederick August and its territories were handed out among the late Prince's relatives, Jever, in Lower Saxony, was given to his sister, Empress Catherine II of Russia, and was then inherited by Emperor Paul I. Catherine II had allowed her late brother's widow, Friederike Auguste Sophie of Anhalt-Bernburg, Princess Consort of Anhalt-Zerbst, to rule Jever on her behalf, as did Paul I, who granted permission for the issue of talers in 1798 of which this very rare coin was a part.
