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 introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by Charles William Ferdinand, who was the ruler of the principality at the time. The coin's design features the image of a standing figure of the Virgin Mary, which was a common motif on coins during this period. Despite its age, the 24 Mariengroschen coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
