| Additional information |
Reuss-Lobenstein-Ebersdorf was one of the most diminutive sovereignties in the German Confederation, covering barely 75 square kilometers and governing fewer than 20,000 subjects. Henry LXXII — the numeral itself a consequence of the Reuss family's eccentric practice of numbering every male heir "Heinrich" sequentially across all branch lines since the 12th century — ruled until 1848, when the line died out and the territory was absorbed by Reuss-Schleiz. These pfennigs represent the entire copper coinage of the principality's final years.
