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 was intended to bear the image of a crowned eagle, but due to a minting error, the eagle's crown is missing. This mistake has become a unique characteristic of the coin, making it stand out among other coins from the same era and region.
