Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Groschen coin from Moldavia (Moldavia and Wallachia) made of Silver weighing 1.64g is that it features an image of Alexandru I cel Bun, who was a prominent prince of Moldavia in the 15th century. He is remembered for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Moldavian state. The coin was likely minted during his reign, which lasted from 1400 to 1432.
