Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). This conflict involved many European powers, including the Holy Roman Empire, of which the Bishopric of Osnabrück was a part. Despite the upheaval, the coinage of the Bishopric continued, with the 24 Mariengroschen being one of the coins minted during this time.
