Comment
Weinm.291, Lange 935Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg is that it features an image of Ernest III, the ruling count of the county at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the county on the other. This coin was minted in 1620 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin has a rich history and is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
