Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles August, who was the last prince of Nassau-Weilburg before the principality was annexed by Prussia in 1866. The coin's design features an image of Charles August on one side and the coat of arms of Nassau-Weilburg on the other. The coin's silver content and 12.94g weight also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
