Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many German states, including Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, were struggling to rebuild their economies and maintain their independence in the face of powerful neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the Principality was able to mint a coin that has become a valuable collector's item to this day.
