| Additional information |
Frederick Günther ruled Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt from 1807 until his death in 1867 — one of the longer reigns among the minor German states. The 1825 issue falls roughly midway through his rule, a period when the German Confederation's member states still retained the right to strike their own copper pfennige for local circulation, a privilege that would erode steadily as monetary unification pressures mounted through the mid-nineteenth century. Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was among the smallest of these states, with a population barely exceeding 60,000.
