Interesting fact

The 24 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1796-1797, just a few years before the Napoleonic Wars, which had a profound impact on the German states and their currencies. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a notable example of coinage from this time period.
