Interesting fact
The ⅛ Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was minted during a time of economic struggle in the region. In the early 19th century, the Principality was facing financial difficulties due to a decline in the local textile industry and a large national debt. To address these issues, the government introduced a new currency, the Kreuzer, which was divided into 8 equal parts, with this coin representing ⅛ of a Kreuzer. Despite the economic challenges, the coinage remained in circulation for over 15 years, indicating the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt during difficult times.
