Interesting fact

The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.70g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Justus Hermann, who was the Count of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg from 1622 to 1635. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued during a time when most coins were made of copper or other base metals. Additionally, the coin features an intricate design, including an image of Justus Hermann on one side and the county's coat of arms on the other.
