1 Groschen - George William of Brandenburg

George William inherited Ravensberg through the Hohenzollern claim on the Jülich-Cleves-Berg succession crisis, a territorial dispute that drew in half of Protestant Europe and nearly triggered open war years before the Thirty Years' War made such conflicts routine. The 1618 date places this coin at the exact moment the crisis was still unresolved and Brandenburg's grip on Ravensberg remained legally contested.

The KM#15.2 designation distinguishes this from the .1 variety by a die difference documented in the Weingärtner Westfalens reference — not a major recutting, but enough to separate the two in serious collections.
