Interesting fact
The 12 Mariengroschen coin was minted during the reign of George I of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, who was also the King of Great Britain from 1714 to 1727. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that featured the image of his wife, Sophia Dorothea of Celle, on the obverse (front side), and the coat of arms of the House of Hanover on the reverse (back side). The coin's design was meant to symbolize the unity of the House of Hanover and the German States under George I's rule.
