Interesting fact
The ½ Pfennig coin from the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, minted in 1783 during the reign of Louis Günther II, is interesting because it was made of copper, a material that was not commonly used for coinage at that time. Most coins from this era were made of silver or gold, but the use of copper for this coin reflects the economic conditions of the time and the need for a more affordable alternative for everyday transactions.
