Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Principality of Reuss-Greiz was a small state located in what is now Germany, and it was ruled by the House of Reuss, a noble family. During the time that Henry XX was in power, the principality was facing significant political and economic challenges, including the rise of nationalism and liberalism, as well as the impact of the Industrial Revolution. Despite these challenges, the principality managed to maintain its independence and unique identity, and this coin is a testament to that history.
