Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Henry LXXII's reign as the Prince of Reuss-Lobenstein-Ebersdorf, which was a small principality in what is now Germany. The coin's design features an image of Henry LXXII on one side and the Reuss-Lobenstein-Ebersdorf coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively large weight of 37.119 grams also make it stand out among other coins of the time.
