Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Prince Charles Günther of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, who ruled the principality from 1880 until his death in 1918. The coin's design features a portrait of the prince on one side and the coat of arms of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen on the other. The use of a thick rim and the silver content of the coin were intended to symbolize the prince's wealth and power.
