| Beschrijving keerzijde | Double-headed crowned imperial eagle displayed, with wings spread and each head bearing a small crown, surmounted by a large imperial crown above. On the eagle's breast is a round orb bearing a cross at top and the denomination numeral '24' below, indicating the coin's value in Kreuzer. The date 1623 appears in the field flanking the eagle's body, and a Latin imperial legend naming Emperor Ferdinand II encircles the entire design within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Reuss-Gera was one of the fractured micro-territories produced by the obsessive partible inheritance practiced by the Reuss dynasty, which divided lands among male heirs so repeatedly that the family tree became nearly ungovernable. Henry II ruled during the opening years of the Thirty Years' War, and thalers of this type served the very practical function of paying troops — both one's own and those passing through — at a moment when Thuringia was becoming a corridor for armies moving between Catholic and Protestant fronts.
The Schmieder & Knabenschu reference places this among a thinly documented run, with surviving examples appearing rarely at auction.
