Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Württemberg, which was a powerful noble family that ruled the region for centuries. This shield is placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin, and it adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin.
