Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Charles, the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt at the time, on one side, and an image of the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms features a shield with a black eagle on a gold background, which symbolizes the principality's connection to the Holy Roman Empire. The eagle is also holding a scepter and a sword, representing the prince's authority and power. This design was used on many coins issued by the principality during Frederick Charles' reign, making it a distinctive feature of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt's coinage during that time.
