Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Frederick I, also known as Frederick the Elder, who was the first Duke of Württemberg and ruled from 1594 to 1596. He was a member of the House of Württemberg, a noble family that ruled the region for over 400 years. The coin's design includes an inscription of his name and title, "FRIEDRICH DER ÄLTERE HERTZOG ZU WÜRTTEMBERG," which translates to "Frederick the Elder, Duke of Württemberg." This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and the House of Württemberg.
