Interesting fact

The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Louis Gustav ND (1656-1697), who was a member of the House of Hohenlohe, a powerful noble family in Germany. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Hohenlohe family, which includes a shield with three eagles, symbolizing the family's connection to the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's silver content and the fact that it was minted in a relatively small quantity make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
