Interesting fact

The coin features an image of Frederick Günther, the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt at the time, on one side, and a crowned shield with the principality's coat of arms on the other. The coin's design was created by the renowned German engraver and medalist, Karl Friedrich Schinkel.

The 1 Kreuzer coin is a great example of Schinkel's work and is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
