Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Duchy of Nassau, which was a small state in what is now the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, was annexed by Prussia in 1866, just a few years after this coin was minted. This coin, therefore, represents a brief and unique moment in the history of Germany, before the country was unified under a single government.
