Interesting fact
The ½ Groschen coin from Comtat Venaissin (Papal States) minted during the reign of Innocent VI (1352-1362) is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material for coinage at the time. Additionally, the coin weighed 1.56 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin of its denomination, making it a unique piece in the history of coinage.
