| Additional information |
Reuss-Lobenstein was one of the smallest and most obscure of the Thuringian Reuss principalities, a patchwork of micro-states whose ruling lines divided and subdivided by inheritance for centuries under the peculiar Reuss naming convention — every male heir, regardless of branch, was named Heinrich (Henry), distinguished only by number. Henry XXXV ruled Lobenstein from 1782 until the principality was absorbed into Reuss-Ebersdorf in 1806, making this 1805 issue effectively a final-year emission from a state on the verge of extinction.
