Interesting fact

The Groschen coin from the City of Kronstadt (Hungarian States) made of Silver weighing 1.50g has an interesting fact that it was used as a means of payment during the 17th century in the Hungarian States, specifically in the city of Kronstadt, which is now part of Romania. It was a standard circulation coin during that time and was made of silver, which was a valuable metal at the time.
