Comment
Weight range of coins in good condition 3.1 - 3.7 g.Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen (Annengroschen) coin from the City of Brunswick (German States) made of Silver weighing 3.4 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted between 1533 and 1541, a period when the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum, and the Empire was facing political and religious upheaval. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a standard circulation coin, indicating the resilience and stability of the Brunswick region's economy during this time.
