Interesting fact

The 1 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.35g has an interesting fact that it was used as a means of payment in the city during a time when currency was scarce due to the Thirty Years' War. It was also used as a substitute for the official currency of the Holy Roman Empire, the Reichsthaler. This coin was minted from 1623-1674 and was a valuable resource for the people of Einbeck during that time.
