1/2 Pfennig - Henry XI

Henry XI ruled Reuss-Greiz from 1778 until his death in 1800, presiding over one of the smallest and most financially constrained territories in the Holy Roman Empire. The Reuss principalities operated under an unusual naming convention — all male heirs were named Heinrich, numbered sequentially across both lines — which creates persistent cataloging confusion when attributing minor copper issues to the correct ruler.

Small denomination copper for a pocket-sized German principality with no mint of its own; these were almost certainly struck on contract at an outside facility, likely Saalfeld.
