Varieties existInteresting 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 German States. The coin was issued by Count Christof Frederick and Jost Christian of Stolberg-Stolberg, who were attempting to address the economic challenges of the time by introducing a new currency. The coin was made of silver and weighed 13 grams, making it a significant denomination for the time period. Despite the efforts of the counts, the coin ultimately failed to address the economic issues and the German States continued to struggle financially. Today, the coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a unique glimpse into the economic and political history of the region.
