Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Reuss-Greiz, issued during the reign of Henry XIX (1817-1832), features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a bust of the prince, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the prince's role as a wise and just ruler, and the oak leaves were a nod to the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
