Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld was minted during a time of great change in the region. In 1737, the year the coin was minted, the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld was in the process of transitioning from a rural, agricultural economy to a more industrialized economy. This shift was driven in part by the rise of trade and commerce in the region, and the need for more efficient and standardized currency. The 1 Groschen coin, made of silver, was an important part of this transition, as it was designed to be a more reliable and widely accepted form of currency than the various local currencies that had been used in the past.
