1 Silbergroschen - Henry LXII

Reuss-Schleiz was one of the smallest sovereign territories in the German Confederation, covering barely 316 square kilometers at its peak. The elder line of the House of Reuss maintained the peculiar dynastic tradition of naming every male heir Heinrich — numbered sequentially across centuries — making Henry LXII not an unusually long-lived ruler but simply the sixty-second Heinrich in an unbroken chain stretching back to the 13th century.

The .222 fineness places this squarely in the debased billon range common to minor German states struggling to maintain independent minting operations before Prussian monetary consolidation swept most of them away after 1871.
