Interesting fact

The 12 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel features an image of Anthony Ulrich, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coin was minted between 1705 and 1711 and was made of silver, weighing 6.5 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The coin's intricate details and ornate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
