Interesting fact

The Groschen ND (1540-1570) from League of God's House (Grisons) made of Silver is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Grisons region was part of the Old Swiss Confederacy, which was a powerful and influential political entity in Europe during the 16th century. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Grisons, which includes a shield with three horizontal stripes and a crown on top, symbolizing the region's independence and sovereignty. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver indicates that it was a valuable and highly sought-after form of currency during that time period.
