Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to a period of political instability and economic upheaval. Despite these challenges, the City of Einbeck continued to mint coins, such as the 1 Groschen, which were used as a medium of exchange and a symbol of the city's economic and political power.
