Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1735, just a few years before the start of the Seven Years' War, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade of many European countries, including Germany. Despite this, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
