Comment
Design copied from the groschen from Meissen.Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the reverse side, which was used as a "test cut" to check the coin's authenticity. This feature was common in coins of the time period, but it's still a fascinating detail that speaks to the history and craftsmanship of the coin.
