Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The Principality of Reuss Younger Line was one of the many small states that made up the German Confederation, and in 1850, the year this coin was minted, the Confederation was in the process of being dissolved and replaced by the North German Confederation. This coin, therefore, represents a unique moment in German history, as it was minted during a period of transition and change.
