Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the Prussian province of Saxony was undergoing rapid industrialization, and the Zündhutfabrik S.B. (match factory) in Schönebeck was one of the leading industries in the region. The coin's design, which features an image of a crowned eagle, symbolizes the power and prosperity of the Prussian state during this time period.
