Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Groschen coin from the Bishopric of Breslau (Silesia) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Bishop Henryk z Wierzbna, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of medieval Europe.
