Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 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 occupation and transition in Eastern Prussia. The coin's design features the image of Elizabeth on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the blending of Russian and Prussian cultures during this time.
