Interesting fact

The 1 Groschen coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.97 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. This coin was minted during the reign of Otto VI, who was the Count of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg from 1638-1639. The coin's design and mintage can provide valuable insights into the economic and political conditions of the time.
