Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1613, which was just a few years before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, a devastating conflict that lasted from 1618 to 1648 and involved many European countries, including Germany. Despite the turmoil of this period, the County of Stolberg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the 1 Groschen, which was an important symbol of the region's economic and political autonomy.
