1 Groschen

Marsberg — known in the early seventeenth century as Stadtberge — was a small Westphalian town whose civic coinage rights were perpetually contested by the Prince-Bishops of Paderborn, whose territory surrounded it. The 1606 groschen falls within a period when the city asserted its minting privileges aggressively, producing small silver issues whose authorization was legally ambiguous at best.

KM#8 is the scarcer of the city's groschen types from this decade.
