Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gröschel - Louis 1593 coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was minted in 1593, which was just a few years after the Protestant Reformation had taken place in Germany, and the Duchy of Württemberg was one of the first territories to adopt the new Protestant religion. This coin is a tangible representation of the cultural and religious shifts that were taking place in Europe during the late 16th century.
