Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from Halberstadt was minted during a time of great change in the region. The city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Charles V. The coin's design features the Imperial Eagle on one side and the Halberstadt coat of arms on the other. This coin was used as a standard form of currency throughout the region and was valued at 1/24th of a silver thaler. Despite its relatively small value, the coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
