Interesting fact

The 1 Groschen 1676 coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coinage of the time was heavily influenced by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the economy and trade of the region. Despite this, the 1 Groschen coin remained a stable and widely used denomination, and its design and mintage continued to evolve throughout the 17th century.
