Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the City of Brunswick (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Julius of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who was a prominent figure in the German Renaissance and a supporter of the arts and sciences. The coin's design features the Duke's coat of arms on one side and the image of a groschen, a traditional German coin, on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a sign of the city's wealth and prosperity during this period.
