Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dreier coin from County of Reuss-Obergreiz is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The County of Reuss-Obergreiz was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the minting of this coin coincided with the introduction of the Imperial Coinage Ordinance of 1551, which aimed to standardize coinage across the Empire. The coin's silver content and design were likely influenced by this ordinance, and it is a testament to the region's efforts to adapt to changing economic and political conditions during this time.
