Interesting fact
The 1 Mariengroschen coin from Minden, Germany, was minted during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that ravaged much of Europe. The city of Minden was under siege by Swedish forces, and the coin was minted as a makeshift currency to help the city's inhabitants survive during this difficult time. The coin was made of copper, which was a readily available metal at the time, and it features an image of the Virgin Mary on one side and the city's coat of arms on the other. Despite its humble origins, the 1 Mariengroschen coin has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
