Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the German States. The Konventionstaler was introduced in 1765 as a standardized currency for the German States, replacing the various local currencies that were in use at the time. This coin, featuring Henry XXIV of Reuss-Ebersdorf, was one of the first coins to be minted under this new system, and its production marked a significant shift towards a more centralized and standardized monetary system in Germany.
