Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the Duchy of Pomerania-Wolgast, issued during the reign of Philip Julius III (1609-1616), features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbol was used to represent the coat of arms of the House of Pomerania, which ruled the region for centuries. The inclusion of the griffin on the coin highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts.
