Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The 1840s and 1850s saw the rise of nationalism and liberalism, as well as the Revolutions of 1848, which had a significant impact on the German states and the Kingdom of Prussia. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its design and quality were highly regarded.
