Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Groschen coin is that it was issued during the reign of Pope Clement VI, who was known for his love of luxury and lavish spending. Despite the coin's small denomination, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. This suggests that the Pope wanted to create a currency that reflected his own wealth and power.
