Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the marriage of Christian August, the Count of Solms-Laubach, to his wife, Countess Wilhelmine Luise of Solms-Braunfels. The coin features an image of the couple on one side and the coat of arms of the Solms-Laubach family on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a commemorative coin from the German States period, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
