Comment
Minted in WernigerodeInteresting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Wernigerode (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.62g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the region. In the late 17th century, the Holy Roman Empire was in decline, and the German states were becoming more independent. This coin was minted during the reign of Ernest and Louis Christian, who were both prominent figures in the region's history. The coin's design, which features the two rulers on opposite sides, is a testament to the political and economic changes that were taking place at the time.
