Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The Duchy of Nassau, where the coin was minted, was a small state within the German Confederation, and in 1840, it was in the process of becoming part of the newly formed German Empire. This coin, featuring Adolph, the Duke of Nassau, was minted during this transition period, making it a unique piece of history.
