Comment
Frieder.1058varInteresting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Ortenberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.69 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Louis George, who was the Count of Stolberg-Ortenberg from 1574 to 1634. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued during his reign, as most coins from this time period were made of copper or other base metals. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a high-value coin, possibly used for large transactions or as a symbol of wealth and power.
