Interesting fact
The 24 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) made of Silver weighing 13.1g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Anthony Ulrich, who was a duke known for his extensive coinage reforms. He introduced new coinage systems and minting techniques, which resulted in the production of high-quality coins like the 24 Mariengroschen. The coin's design features the duke's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other, showcasing the state's symbolism and artistry during that time.
