Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers - Christian August 1768 circulating commemorative coin from the County of Solms-Laubach (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Christian August, the Count of Solms-Laubach, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Solms-Laubach family on the other. This coin was minted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Christian August's rule over the county, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
