Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1654-1655, a period when many European countries were transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern economy. The coin's silver content and small denomination made it a practical and widely used currency for everyday transactions. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of the Virgin Mary, reflects the strong religious influences of the time.
