Interesting fact
The 1 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Hannover (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to a period of decentralization and the rise of individual city-states. The coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a stable currency during this time of upheaval.
