Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1934, just one year after Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in Germany. The coin's design, which features a portrait of Friedrich Schiller, a famous German philosopher and playwright, was likely chosen as a way to promote the Nazi Party's ideology of racial purity and cultural superiority. The coin's silver content and high denomination also reflect the economic instability and inflation that Germany experienced during this time period.
