Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the City of Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.40g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King James I of England, who was also the Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, which included the City of Hannover. This coin was part of a series of reforms aimed at standardizing coinage across the German States and promoting trade and commerce in the region. Despite its small denomination, the 1 Groschen coin played an important role in the local economy and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
