Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler - Henry XII 1763 from County of Reuss-Schleiz is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Henry XII, who was a member of the House of Reuss, a noble family that ruled over several territories in what is now Germany. At the time, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving, and many German states were struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the County of Reuss-Schleiz was able to maintain its own mint and produce coins like the ⅙ Thaler, which were used for everyday transactions. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Reuss-Schleiz during a time of great upheaval.
