Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Mariengroschen coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which was a major conflict between Prussia and its allies, and Austria, Russia, and their allies. The coin features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia at the time and played a significant role in the war. Despite the war effort, the coin's production was not interrupted, and it remained in circulation throughout the conflict.
