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-Lobenstein-Ebersdorf was one of many small German states that existed during the Holy Roman Empire, and this coin was minted during the reign of Henry LXXII, who ruled from 1840-1847. This was a time of political and economic turmoil, as the German states were struggling to maintain their independence and power in the face of growing nationalism and the rise of Prussia. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Reuss-Lobenstein-Ebersdorf was able to maintain its independence and issue its own currency, including this silver 2 Thalers / 3½ Gulden coin.
