Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the German States, specifically during the Revolutions of 1848. The Principality of Reuss-Lobenstein-Ebersdorf, where the coin was minted, was one of the many small states that existed within the German Confederation at the time. The coin's low value and the use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, reflects the economic challenges faced by the region during this period. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, providing a glimpse into the economic and political history of 19th-century Germany.
