Interesting fact
The 1 Gröschel coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Christian, who was the Duke of Liegnitz-Brieg from 1669 to 1670. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade in the region, and the coin was likely used for everyday transactions and commerce. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a fascinating piece of history that provides a glimpse into the economic and political climate of 17th-century Europe.
