Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen 1622 coin from the City of Magdeburg (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. Despite these challenges, the City of Magdeburg 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.
