Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was one of the many small states that made up the German Confederation, and the coinage of the region was heavily influenced by the political and economic climate of the time. The coin's design and composition reflect the efforts of the ruling prince, Frederick Günther, to modernize and strengthen the economy of his principality, and it is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Germany during this period.
