Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Groschen - John I (Duke wearing helmet) ND (1346-1390) from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) made of Silver weighing 3.05 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of John I, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1346 to 1390. During this time, the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from the Black Death, which had a significant impact on the economy and society. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that the Duchy of Lorraine was still able to produce currency and maintain some level of economic stability. Additionally, the design of the coin, featuring a duke wearing a helmet, suggests a focus on military strength and leadership during a time of uncertainty.
