Interesting fact

The 50 Pfennigs - Blankenstein ND coin was issued by the Municipality of Blankenstein in the Federal State of Reuss, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse (front side) features a portrait of a young woman, believed to be Princess Adelheid Reuss, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The reverse (back side) of the coin features a blank field, which was a deliberate design choice by the mint to make the coin stand out. This design element, combined with the coin's relatively low mintage, has made it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
