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 Reuss-Greiz was a small state within the German States, and the coinage of the region was heavily influenced by the Napoleonic Wars and the subsequent Congress of Vienna. The ⅓ Thaler coin, minted in 1809, features Henry XIII, the reigning prince of Reuss-Greiz at the time, and its design reflects the political and economic shifts of the era. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it was a valuable resource at the time and added to the coin's value and durability.
