Interesting fact

The Groschen 1613 from City of Kronstadt (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was issued during the height of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that ravaged much of Europe. Despite the turmoil, the coin's silver content and intricate design demonstrate the city's commitment to maintaining economic stability and artistic excellence during a time of great uncertainty.
