Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles William Ferdinand, who was a member of the House of Welf and ruled the principality from 1781 until his death in 1783. During his reign, Charles William Ferdinand implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the local economy and increase trade within the region. The 24 Mariengroschen coin was a key part of this new system, and its silver content and carefully designed minting process helped to establish it as a reliable and trustworthy form of currency.
