Comment
Zepernick 149, Slg. Knyphausen 630Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mariengroschen - Sede Vacante 1762-1763 coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the Sede Vacante period, which means "empty seat" in Latin, and refers to the period of time between the death of a bishop and the appointment of a new one. This particular coin was minted during a time of political and religious upheaval in the German States, and its production was likely affected by the tumultuous events of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
