| Additional information |
Reuss-Ebersdorf was among the smallest of the Thuringian Reuss territories, a patchwork of micro-states whose ruling lines followed the peculiar dynastic convention of numbering every male heir "Heinrich" — Henry XXIV being the count from 1747 until the county's absorption into Reuss-Schleiz in 1779. The billon content in issues like this one was notoriously inconsistent across the Thuringian mints, and contemporary complaints about sub-standard small coinage from these territories were recorded by the Imperial Kreise tasked with enforcing coinage standards.
