Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Abbey of Corvey (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on other coins from this time period. This cross is believed to have been added as a symbol of the abbey's connection to the Catholic Church.
