Interesting fact
The 1 Mariengroschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1675, a period when many European countries were transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern economy, and the coinage of the time reflects this shift. The Mariengroschen was a widely used denomination in the German States and its design and mintage were heavily influenced by the political and economic climate of the time.
