Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Groschen - Adolph of Dalberg 1726-1736 from Abbey of Fulda (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.35g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Adolph of Dalberg, who was the Prince-Abbot of Fulda from 1726 to 1736. During this period, the Abbey of Fulda was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin was used as a means of exchange within the abbey's territories. The fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, reflects the importance of trade and commerce in the region during this time.
