Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John Frederick, the ruler of the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, who was known for his efforts to modernize and develop the economy of his territory. The coin's design, which features an image of John Frederick on one side and the coat of arms of the principality on the other, reflects the importance of the ruler and the state's symbolism during that time.
