Interesting fact
The 1 Groshen coin from the Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) featuring Matyáš Korvín ND (1477-1490) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin was minted during the reign of King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary, who was also the Duke of Silesia and ruled over a vast territory that included parts of modern-day Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. This coin was likely used for everyday transactions and represents a small but significant part of the economic history of the region during that time.
