Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.80g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1618, which was during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Europe and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite this, the Bishopric of Paderborn was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as this one, which was used for everyday transactions. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the Bishopric of Paderborn during a time of great turmoil.
