Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was a small state in what is now southern Germany, and it was ruled by the House of Hohenzollern, which was also the ruling house of Prussia.

This coin was minted during this time of political turmoil, and it reflects the changing political and social landscape of Europe during the 19th century.
