Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Groschen Spadin coin from the Duchy of Lorraine is that it features an image of Frederick IV, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1312 to 1329. The coin was minted during his reign and features his name and title in Latin on one side, and an image of him on the other. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin from this time period and region, and its preservation in such good condition is a testament to the craftsmanship of the medieval minting process.
