Interesting fact

The 1 Groschen coin from the City of Stralsund (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.47 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued between 1610 and 1614, a period known as the "Kipper und Wipper" era, which saw widespread inflation and currency devaluation due to the Thirty Years' War. Despite these challenges, the Stralsund Groschen remained a stable and trusted currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity in trade.
