Interesting fact

The 1 Groschen coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.24 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the City of Einbeck continued to mint coins, and this particular coin is a testament to the city's resilience and determination to maintain economic stability during a difficult period in history.
