Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1739 1/24 Thaler coin from the County of Reuss-Ebersdorf is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "H XXIX" (for Henry XXIX) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and era, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
