Interesting fact
The Groschen coin from the Bishopric of Halberstadt (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.62g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), which was a religious conflict that involved many European states and resulted in significant economic disruption and inflation. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Halberstadt was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as the Groschen, which was an important symbol of the region's economic and political stability.
