Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mariengroschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg is that it features an image of St. Mary, the patron saint of the city of Lüneburg, on its obverse side. This coin was minted during the reign of John Frederick, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1665 until his death in 1679. The coin's design was likely meant to commemorate the city's devotion to St. Mary and to promote the duke's religious credentials.
