Interesting fact
The 1 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver 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 Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who was trying to standardize coinage across the empire. The Mariengroschen was a new denomination introduced by Charles V, and it was meant to be equal to 1/4 of a thaler, which was the standard silver coin of the time. This coin is a rare example of early standardized currency and represents an important moment in the history of European monetary policy.
