Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen 1661 coin from the City of Magdeburg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states, including Magdeburg, were struggling to rebuild their economies. As a result, the coinage of this period often featured simpler designs and lower production quality compared to coins minted before the war. Despite these challenges, the 1 Groschen 1661 coin remains a popular collector's item today, with its silver content and historical significance making it a valuable addition to any collection.
