Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from the Abbey of Corvey (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.11g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the resilience and skill of the mint's craftsmen during a difficult period in history.
