Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Abbey of Corvey is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "T.I." (Theodoric IV) on the reverse side, which was a personal touch added by the mint master, Theodoric IV of Behringhausen. This small detail sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a distinctive piece of numismatic history.
