Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Principality of Reuss Younger Line was a small state within the German Empire, and the coin was minted in 1884, just a few years before the fall of the German monarchy and the establishment of the Weimar Republic. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a tangible piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the mint.
