Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Grubenhagen is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the principality, 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 principality and the Holy Roman Empire, of which it was a part.
