Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hohenzollern, which was the ruling dynasty of Brandenburg-Ansbach at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the connection between the margraviate and the Hohenzollern family.
