Interesting fact

The 1/12 Thaler coin from the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, minted in 1753 during the reign of John Frederick, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt family on the obverse (front side), which symbolizes the principality's sovereignty and authority.
