Comment
Struck for use in Silesia.Interesting fact
The 1 Gröschel coin was minted during the reign of Frederick II (also known as Frederick the Great) in 1769-1770. It was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. Despite its small weight of 0.61 grams, the coin was widely used in the German States during that time period. I hope you find this information helpful!
