1 Thaler - Henry XI Ausbeute

Henry XI ruled the Greiz line of the notoriously fragmented Reuss family, whose peculiar dynastic tradition named every male heir Heinrich — distinguished only by regnal numbers that climbed into the hundreds across branches. The "Ausbeute" designation marks this as a mining output thaler, struck directly from silver extracted from Reuss territorial mines, a practice that carried both economic and prestige value for small principalities whose political weight rarely matched their mineral luck.

Davenport's German Talers II places this among a tightly documented but genuinely scarce series. Production runs for Reuss Ausbeute issues were never large.
