Comment
Mintmaster - Hans TornauInteresting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the City of Halberstadt (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who was trying to standardize currency across the empire. The Halberstadt groschen was one of the first standardized coins issued in the German states, and it became a widely accepted currency in trade and commerce. Its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, and it played an important role in facilitating economic transactions during this time period.
