Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.1 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Duke August William, who was known for his extensive coinage reforms. He introduced new coinage systems and minted coins with high silver content, like the 2 Mariengroschen, which was equivalent to 1/4 of a standard silver thaler. This coin was widely used in trade and commerce during that time and is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
