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 Confederation, and Henry LXII was one of the last rulers of the principality before it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1854. The coin's design and mintage reflect the political and economic changes that were taking place in Germany during this time.
