Interesting fact

The ½ Groshen coin from Moldavia (Moldavia and Wallachia) made of Silver weighing 0.83 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during the reign of Petru II Mușat in the 15th century, a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin's design features the image of a king on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the country's Christian heritage and monarchical system.
