Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was a small state within the German States, and the minting of this coin reflects the efforts of the ruling dynasty, the House of Schwarzburg, to maintain economic stability and promote trade during a period of upheaval. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions.
