Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Günther, the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coat of arms features a shield with a black eagle, which symbolizes the principality's connection to the Holy Roman Empire. The eagle is surrounded by two lions, which represent the two main branches of the Schwarzburg family: the lines of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. This design reflects the rich history and heritage of the principality and its ruling family.
