Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Reuss-Greiz, issued in 1868 during the reign of Henry XXII, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the Reuss family. This shield is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and durability. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during that time, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the German States.
