| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device comprises the quartered armorial shield of Reuss, displaying lions and cranes in the respective quarters, surmounted by an elaborate baroque crowned helmet with foliate mantling spreading to either side. The shield rests within a circular legend in Latin giving the full titles and style of Heinrich III (Henry III), Senior Lord of Reuss, running around the entire periphery of the coin field. The die work is characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century German provincial minting, with finely detailed heraldic elements rendered in high relief against a flat field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a bold central inscription in four lines reading '24 / EINEN / REICHS / THALER', denoting the denomination of one twenty-fourth of a Reichsthaler, with the date 1753 struck beneath. The mint initials G.H.E., referring to the Saalfeld mint master, appear in the lower portion of the field below the date. A circular peripheral legend reading 'G.R.P. UNTERGREITER LANDMUNZE' runs around the coin, identifying this as the land currency of the Principality of Reuss-Untergreiz. The lettering is crisp and well-struck, typical of the milled silver coinage produced at the Saalfeld mint in the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Reuss-Untergreiz was one of the more obscure subdivisions of the fractured Reuss comital lines, a family so committed to the name Heinrich that every male member — ruling or not — bore it for centuries. Henry III of Untergreiz ruled a territory measurable in square miles rather than any meaningful political unit, yet the counts of Reuss retained the imperial privilege of coinage, and exercised it with some regularity well into the eighteenth century. The 1/24 Thaler denomination was a workhorse of small-change commerce in the German states, valued precisely because larger silver was routinely hoarded or exported.
