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-Greiz was one of the many small German states that existed before the unification of Germany in 1871. The coin was minted in 1877, just a few years after the unification, and it features the image of Henry XXII, who was the reigning prince of Reuss-Greiz at the time. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Germany and the many different states and rulers that existed before the country was unified.
