Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the County of Ravensberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the County of Ravensberg, which is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was used to signify the coin's origins and to show the connection between the County of Ravensberg and the House of Hohenzollern, which ruled the region at the time.
