Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Groschen - Anonymous ND (1285-1320) from Archbishopric of Vienne (France) (French States) made of Silver weighing 3.35 g is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Groschen was introduced as a replacement for the denier, which had been the standard coin of France for centuries, and it was used until the 14th century. This coin was also used in other parts of Europe, such as Germany and Italy, and it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this time. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Groschen was an important symbol of economic power and influence, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
