Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe was a small state located in what is now the state of Lower Saxony, and it was ruled by Prince Albert George from 1898 to 1904. During this time, Germany was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization, and the traditional feudal systems were being challenged. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 11.111 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at the time. Despite the changes happening in Germany, the coin still features the traditional image of the prince on one side and the coat of arms of Schaumburg-Lippe on the other, highlighting the attempt to maintain tradition and stability in a time of great change.
