Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Gröscher coin featuring Albert of Hohenzollern is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the Duchy of Prussia. Albert was the first Hohenzollern margrave to rule the Duchy, and his reign saw the introduction of the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent religious conflicts that arose from it. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the time remained a symbol of stability and continuity, with the 6 Gröscher coin being a widely used denomination in everyday transactions.
