Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Blankenburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis Rudolph, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and Prince of Brunswick-Blankenburg from 1715 to 1720. During his reign, Louis Rudolph implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy and increase trade in the region. The 12 Mariengroschen coin was part of this new coinage system and was widely used in the German States during this time.
