Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mariengroschen coin from the County of Oldenburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1761, just a few years before the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, which had a profound impact on the economies of many European countries, including Denmark and the German States. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with its intricate design and use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, to create a unique and durable coin.
