Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Osnabrück is that it features an image of Ernest August I, who was the Bishop of Osnabrück from 1669 to 1670. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Osnabrück.
