Comment
S.-J. 3814.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 in the late 16th century, a period of rapid urbanization, trade, and cultural exchange. The City of Brunswick, located in what is now Lower Saxony, Germany, was an important center of trade and commerce during this time, and the coin likely played a significant role in facilitating economic transactions in the region. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting reflects the value placed on this precious metal during the time period, and the coin's design may have been influenced by the artistic and cultural trends of the Renaissance.
