Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 12 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Hannover (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Johann Friedrich of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who ruled the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1665 to 1679. During his reign, the duchy experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of coins like the 12 Mariengroschen was an important part of this process. The coin's design, which features an image of the Virgin Mary and the coat of arms of the City of Hannover, reflects the religious and political influences of the time.
