Comment
This is the second oldest known coin type with a Gregorian date (tied with 1 Tournosegroschen Aachen)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen Tournois 1372 from Lordship of Schönforst (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a type of cross with narrow arms that widen at the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted in the Lordship of Schönforst during that time period.
