Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from County of Stolberg-Ortenberg is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of Saint George slaying a dragon, a common Christian motif. On the other side, it features a depiction of a wild man, a mythical creature commonly found in Germanic folklore. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of European society during the early 17th century.
