Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Henry II (Lobenstein) 1623 from Reuss-Gera (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the symbols of the House of Reuss, which was a powerful noble family in Germany during the 16th and 17th centuries. The shield is flanked by two lions and topped with a crown, signifying the royal status of the House of Reuss. This coat of arms was specifically designed for Henry II, who was the Count of Reuss-Gera from 1621 until his death in 1628. The inclusion of this coat of arms on the coin highlights the importance of the House of Reuss and their influence in the region during that time period.
