Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Silbergroschen coin from the Principality of Reuss Younger Line is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1855, during a period of economic downturn and inflation, and its low silver content (only .222 silver) reflects the government's attempt to reduce the cost of producing coinage during this time. Despite these efforts, the coin still maintains a unique and interesting history, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
