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 late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the emergence of new ideas about democracy and individual rights, which would eventually lead to the French Revolution in 1789. Additionally, the Principality of Reuss-Greiz was a small state within the German States, which was a loose confederation of territories that would eventually be unified under a single government in the late 19th century. This coin, therefore, represents a unique moment in history, when old monarchies and feudal systems were giving way to new ideas and political structures.
