Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Charles, the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with a diagonal split, representing the division of the principality into two parts: the upper part with the town of Rudolstadt and the lower part with the town of Schwarzburg. This design element signifies the unity of the two parts under one ruler.
