Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Silbergroschen coin from the Principality of Lippe is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the region. The coin was introduced in 1860, just a few years after the Lippe region had experienced a financial crisis caused by the failure of the Leipzig Bank. Despite this, the coin was still made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, which was a more affordable option than pure silver. This shows that even during times of economic hardship, the Principality of Lippe was able to find ways to produce currency that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
