Interesting fact

The 1 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of East Frisia, issued in 1735 during the reign of Charles Edzard, features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a mermaid on the reverse side. This mermaid design was a common motif in East Frisian coinage during this period and is believed to symbolize the region's strong maritime tradition and connection to the North Sea.
