Interesting fact
The 1 Pfenning coin from Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "FG" (for Frederick Günther) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design to commemorate the reign of Frederick Günther, who was the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt from 1814 to 1842. The inclusion of the prince's initials on the coin was a way to honor his legacy and reinforce the coin's connection to the principality.
