Interesting fact

The coin features an image of Joseph Adam, the prince of Schwarzenberg, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with three rows of five stars each, which represents the five districts of the principality. The stars are arranged in a pattern that resembles a crescent moon, which is a symbol of hope and prosperity. This design element adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the coin, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
