Comment
Schmidt und Knab 599Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry XXIV, who was a member of the House of Reuss, a noble family that ruled the County of Reuss-Ebersdorf in the German States. The coin's design features an image of Henry XXIV on one side and the Reuss-Ebersdorf coat of arms on the other. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions.
