Interesting fact
The 12 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Hildesheim (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the Virgin Mary on one side, which was a common motif on coins during that period.
