Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 18 Groschen coin from the Russian occupation of Eastern Prussia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Elizabeth, who was the Empress of Russia from 1741 to 1762, and it was used as a means of currency during a period of Russian occupation in Eastern Prussia, which is now part of modern-day Germany. The coin's design features the image of Elizabeth on one side and the coat of arms of Eastern Prussia on the other, symbolizing the political and economic ties between Russia and Eastern Prussia during this time.
