Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "R" in the center, which stands for Rudolstadt. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate the coin's origin and to differentiate it from other coins issued by other German states during the same period.
