Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was one of the many small states that made up the German Confederation, and in 1846, the year this coin was minted, the Confederation was in the process of being dissolved and replaced by the German Empire. This coin, therefore, represents a unique moment in German history, as it was minted during the transition from a loose collection of states to a unified nation.
