Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Duke Christoph, who ruled the region from 1554 to 1555, on one side, and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. This coin was made of silver and weighed 2.5 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
