Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from Reuss-Untergreiz (German States) made of Billon (.368 silver) weighing 1.98g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Henry III, who was a member of the House of Reuss, a noble family that ruled the Reuss states in Germany. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by Henry III to help stabilize the economy of the Reuss states during his reign. Despite being a small denomination coin, it is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today due to its historical significance and rarity.
