Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennigs coin from the Principality of Reuss-Greiz, issued during the reign of Henry XIII (1805-1816), features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a bust of Henry XIII, with a distinctive crown on his head. This crown is actually a representation of the so-called "Reuss-Greiz crown," which was a symbol of the principality's ruling dynasty. The use of this crown on the coinage was a way to emphasize the connection between the ruling family and the coinage, and to reinforce the idea of the principality's independence and sovereignty.
