Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the County of Regenstein (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Ernest I, the Duke of Saxony, and Botho, the Count of Regenstein, who ruled the region together in the 16th century. This dual leadership is reflected in the coin's design, with Botho's image appearing on the left side of the coin and Ernest's on the right. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and highlights the unique political situation of the County of Regenstein during that period.
