Interesting fact
The coin features an image of John Frederick, the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with a diagonal line dividing it into two parts, representing the two main branches of the Schwarzburg family: the lines of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. This design was used on many coins issued by the principality during John Frederick's reign, and it symbolizes the unity and strength of the Schwarzburg family.
