Interesting fact
The Mariengroschen coin was first introduced in 1532 and was used until 1554. It was a standard circulation coin during that time and was widely used in trade and commerce. The coin's design featured the image of the Virgin Mary, hence the name Mariengroschen, which means "Marian groat" in German. The coin's silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, and it was used extensively in the German States during its time.
