______________________
1. GERMANY. Reuss-Schleiz. 3 Pfennige. 1868. Henry XIV (1867-1913)
- Value: 3 Pfennige.
- Reign: Henry XIV (1867-1913).
- Year: 1868.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: FÜRST REUSS J.L. Ä. LINIE. Reverse: 3 PFENNIGE · 1868 · A · SCHEIDE MÜNZE.
- Grading: AU58 BN (NGC).
Coin of 3 Pfennige minted at the Berlin mint (mark A) for the Principality of Reuss, Upper Line, during the reign of Henry XIV. The obverse features the crowned coat of arms of the principality with the rampant lion, surrounded by the state motto, in a heraldic design of great sobriety and elegant execution. The reverse shows the face value 3 Pfennige, the issue date, and the indication Scheide Münze, surrounded by a simple composition typical of fractional coins intended for everyday circulation. The specimen preserves an attractive original brown color, corresponding to the BN designation, with light wear only at the highest relief points and much of the original mint luster, features fully in line with the AU58 BN grade given by NGC. This issue belongs to one of the small sovereign states of the North German Confederation, a few years before its integration into the German Empire.

2. GERMANY. Württemberg. 1/2 Kreuzer. 1866. Karl I (1864-1891)
- Value: 1/2 Kreuzer.
- Reign: Karl I (1864-1891).
- Year: 1866.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: KOENIGREICH WÜRTTEMBERG. Reverse: 1/2 KREUZER · 1866.
- Grading: AU50 BN (NGC).
Coin of 1/2 Kreuzer minted by the Kingdom of Württemberg during the reign of Karl I. The obverse presents the crowned coat of arms of the kingdom supported by a stag and a lion, surrounded by the state motto, in an elegant heraldic design characteristic of the era’s issues. The reverse shows the face value 1/2 Kreuzer and the issue date, framed by a crown formed from branches, a typical composition on low-denomination coins intended for daily circulation. The specimen preserves an attractive original brown color, corresponding to the BN designation, with moderate wear on the highest relief areas, maintaining good detail and an overall pleasing appearance, in line with the AU50 BN grade awarded by NGC. This issue corresponds to the year of the Austro-Prussian War, a conflict that reshaped the political balance of the German states and preceded the unification of the German Empire in 1871.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to leave absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside EU that has special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
