Interesting fact
The 1 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.6 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was one of the few states that managed to maintain its independence and economic stability during this time, and the issuance of this coin reflects the state's efforts to stabilize its economy and promote trade.
