Interesting fact
The 24 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Hildesheim (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during a time when the city was experiencing significant economic growth and cultural development. The coin's design features the image of the Virgin Mary, which was a common motif on coins during the Renaissance period, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency. Additionally, the fact that it was used in a specific region (German States) and during a specific time period (1674-1721) makes it a unique and interesting piece of history.
