Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Ortenberg, minted in 1605 during the reign of Louis George, features an interesting error on its reverse side. The coin's mint master, accidentally or intentionally, engraved the year "1605" upside down, resulting in a unique and easily recognizable feature that sets this coin apart from others. This error has become a prized characteristic among collectors, making it a highly sought-after piece in the world of numismatics.
