Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German states. The late 18th century saw the rise of Enlightenment ideas and the decline of feudalism, which had a significant impact on the political and social landscape of the region. Despite these changes, the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt managed to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 1 Thaler coin, which features Louis Günther II, the reigning prince at the time.
