Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Municipality of Blankenstein in the Federal State of Reuss, which was a small state within the German Empire that existed from 1871 to 1918. The coin was made of zinc and weighed 2.73 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in circulation. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in the currency of pre-World War I Germany.
