Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Principality of Reuss-Ebersdorf was one of many small German states that existed during the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage of this time period reflects the economic and political shifts that were taking place. The use of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions. Additionally, the weight of the coin, 1.30g, was a standard weight for coins of this denomination during this time period.
