Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennige coin from the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, which features Frederick Günther, is notable for its unique design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Günther, while the reverse side features a shield with the principality's coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was unusual for coins of its time, as most coins from the German States during this period featured a more traditional design with a crowned shield or a portrait of a ruler. The coin's unique design makes it a standout among other coins from the era and a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
