Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Principality of Lippe was one of the many small German states that existed before the unification of Germany in 1871. The coin was minted in 1847, just a few years before the Revolutions of 1848, which saw the overthrow of many of the traditional monarchies and governments in Europe. Despite this turmoil, the coin still bears the image of Paul Alexander Leopold II, the reigning prince of Lippe at the time, highlighting the enduring power and influence of the ruling family even in a time of great change.
