Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt is that it features an image of John Frederick, the ruling prince at the time, on one side, and a crowned shield with the principality's coat of arms on the other. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during John Frederick's reign, which aimed to standardize the coinage system in the German States. Despite being made of copper, a relatively common metal, the coin's design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
