Interesting fact

The Mariengroschen coin was minted during the reign of Ernest August II of York, who was the Bishop of Osnabrück from 1724 to 1731. The coin was used in the Bishopric of Osnabrück, which was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was made of silver and had a value of 1 Mariengroschen, which was a fraction of the standard currency unit of the time, the Reichsthaler. I hope you find this information helpful!
