Reuss-Obergreiz. Heinrich XX 2 Taler 1844-A MS65 NGC, Berlin mint, KM105, Dav-797. A breathtakingly fine Gem exhibiting ethereal underlying luminosity to the surfaces offering hues of cobalt and pale lavender. Presently sharing the highest assigned technical grade in NGC census with one other example, and none finer than MS63 exist in PCGS graded population.
According to Davenport, the territory of Reuss comprised of small districts between Saxony, the Saxon duchies and Bavaria. The Lords of Weida, as they were originally called, purportedly became known as Reuss because one of them married a Russian princess, whose son was colloquially known as "der Russe" (the Russian). An idiosyncrasy of the family in all its branches was to name all male children Heinrich, eventually running to as high as Heinrich LXXV.
