Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Anhalt is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "W" on the reverse side, which represents the name of the ruling prince, Wolfgang. This distinctive feature makes it stand out from other coins of the same era and denomination.
