Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles August, who was the last prince of Nassau-Weilburg before the principality was annexed by Prussia in 1866. The coin's design features an image of Charles August on one side and an image of the Nassau-Weilburg coat of arms on the other. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of the German states.
