Interesting fact
The Albert of Hohenzollern 1521-1525 Groschen coin was minted during a time of great change in the German States. The Teutonic Order, which was a military order of German knights, had recently lost its influence and power, and the coinage of the time reflected this shift. The Albert of Hohenzollern coin features an image of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Albert of Hohenzollern, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Order on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin minted during a time of transition and political upheaval in the German States.
