Comment
1 groschen = 12 pfennig = 1/30 thaler Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Silbergroschen coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1861, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which was a precursor to the modern German state. The coin's mintage also spanned the reign of King William I, who played a key role in the unification of Germany and became the first German Emperor in 1871. This coin is a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in German history.
