Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg is that it features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a lion's head, which was a symbol of the House of Hohenzollern, the ruling dynasty of Brandenburg at the time. This design element was used on many coins issued by the Margraviate during the 15th and 16th centuries, and has become a distinctive feature of Brandenburg's coinage during that period.
