Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles I, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1735 until his death in 1780. During his rule, Charles I implemented various economic and political reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which led to the minting of this particular coin. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on one side and the image of St. Mary on the other, which was a common motif on coins during that time period.
