Interesting fact

The 1 Groschen 1608 coin from the City of Marsberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the Marsberg coat of arms on one side and the Imperial Eagle on the other, signifying the city's allegiance to the Empire.
