Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen was a small state in what is now central Germany, and the coin was minted during the reign of Christian Günther III, who ruled from 1763 to 1764. This was a period of significant economic and political upheaval, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and many German states were struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen was able to maintain its independence and mint its own coins, such as this 1/12 Thaler.
