Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Gröschel coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was a prominent figure in European history. He was known for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements, and his rule had a significant impact on the development of Prussia and Europe as a whole. The coin itself is a rare and valuable piece, made of billon (a silver-copper alloy) and weighing only 0.49 grams, making it a unique and interesting addition to any coin collection.
