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 Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was one of the many small states that made up the German Confederation, and in 1898, it was in the process of becoming part of the newly formed German Empire under the rule of Kaiser Wilhelm II. This coin, bearing the image of Günther Victor, the reigning prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt at the time, represents a unique moment in history when the old order of the German states was giving way to a new era of imperial rule.
