Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Hannover (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Johann Friedrich of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who ruled the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1665 to 1679. During his reign, the duchy experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of this coin was likely a reflection of this prosperity. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of the Virgin Mary, which was a common motif on coins during this time period, and its silver content made it a valuable and sought-after currency.
