Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from County of Reuss-Obergreiz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "H" and "I" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for the name of the ruler, Henry I. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
