Interesting fact

The 1 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Brunswick (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.67g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Duke Henry the Elder, who ruled Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1478 to 1528. This was a period of rapid urbanization and trade, and the coin was likely used extensively in commerce and trade throughout the region. Additionally, the coin's design features an image of the Virgin Mary, which was a common motif on coins during this time period, reflecting the strong religious beliefs of the era.
