Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Frederick Günther, who was the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt from 1839 to 1846. The coin features an image of Frederick Günther on one side and the coat of arms of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt on the other. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice in the German States during this time period, as it helped to reduce the cost of producing coins while still maintaining their value. Despite its relatively low value, the 3 Kreuzers coin is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today due to its historical significance and rarity.
