Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, to which Albert IV belonged. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of the saint. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and era, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
