Interesting fact
The 1753 1/24 Thaler coin from the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in the region. The coin was minted during the reign of John Frederick, who was the ruler of the principality from 1744 until his death in 1767. During his reign, John Frederick implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the economy and infrastructure of the principality, which was a small state located in what is now the state of Thuringia in central Germany. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 2.21 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
