Comment
R.: 232Interesting fact
The 3 Groshen coin from the Duchy of Oppeln-Ratibor (Silesia) made of Silver weighing 1.52g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen, a powerful Hungarian noble who played a significant role in the politics of the region during the early 17th century.
