1⁄24 Thaler - Henry III

Henry III of Reuss-Untergreiz ruled one of the smallest and most financially constrained of the Thuringian Reuss counties, and the 1763–64 dating places this issue squarely within the economic wreckage of the Seven Years' War. The war had devastated German state finances broadly, and the proliferation of debased small-denomination billon coinage across the minor principalities during exactly these years is well documented — each tiny court scrambling to maintain a circulating medium while silver supplies were stretched thin.

The .368 fineness reflects that pressure directly. Reuss-Untergreiz had no mint of its own and relied on contract striking.
