Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen Tournois coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.57g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, who was also the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe, and its design and composition reflect the influences of the various powers that were vying for control during that period.
