Comment

Total mintage of KM# 162 and KM# 175 (1840-1866) is 2 939 760.

Interesting fact

The coin features an image of Frederick Günther, the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt from 1840 to 1856, on its obverse side. However, the coin was actually minted during the reign of his son, Prince Frederick Günther II, who ruled from 1856 to 1867. This means that the coin was minted after the death of the person depicted on it, which is a relatively rare occurrence in numismatics.
