Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Groschen coin is that it was issued during the reign of Pope Eugene IV, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and promote education. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and an image of St. Peter on the other, reflecting the Papal States' strong religious heritage. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in rare and historical coins.
