Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen, where the coin was minted, was a small state within the German Confederation, which was a loose association of 39 states that existed from 1815 to 1866. During this time, there was a lot of political and economic turmoil in Germany, with many states struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen was able to mint this beautiful silver coin, which is a testament to the state's resilience and determination.
