Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in Graz in 1471 during the reign of Frederick III, is that it features an image of the Emperor on horseback, surrounded by an ornate border. This design was meant to symbolize the power and prestige of the Habsburg dynasty, which ruled over a vast portion of Europe at the time. Despite being made of silver, the coin was widely used in everyday transactions and was an important part of the economy of the empire.
