Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The County of Reuss-Greiz was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the minting of this coin reflects the efforts of the ruling family, the House of Reuss, to maintain their power and influence during a period of great upheaval. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions.
