Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) made of Silver weighing 3.56g is that it was used as a form of currency during the Renaissance period in Europe, specifically in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was a widely accepted coin among merchants and traders, and its value was equivalent to 1/20th of a French livre tournois. The coin's design featured the city's coat of arms on one side and the French king's effigy on the other, signifying the city's allegiance to the French crown.
