Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Ernest August, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1692 to 1693. He was known for his efforts to modernize the state's economy and military, and this coin may have been minted as part of those efforts.
