Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was minted during the reign of John Frederick, who was the ruling prince of the principality from 1744 to 1767. The coin features an image of John Frederick on one side and the coat of arms of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt on the other. What's interesting is that the coat of arms features a stylized image of a bear, which was a symbol of the principality and a nod to the region's history of bear hunting. The coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, and it has a diameter of 19mm.
