Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen "Dreipölker" coin from the Bishopric of Cammin (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.48 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Francis I (1615-1617) and features a unique design, with three pelicans on the reverse side, which symbolize charity, generosity, and selflessness.
