Interesting fact
The 6 Groschen coin from the City of Metz (French States) made of Silver (.694) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin's production continued, and it remained a widely used denomination in the region. Its silver content also made it a valuable commodity, especially during a time when precious metals were in high demand.
