Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the City of Magdeburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.96g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was minted during the reign of Charles IX of France, who was instrumental in the formation of the German States and the coin's design reflects the influence of French coinage during that time.
