Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Osnabrück is that it features an image of Ernest August I, the Bishop of Osnabrück, on one side, and the Virgin Mary on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Bishopric of Osnabrück was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it highlights the religious significance of the Virgin Mary in the region during that period.
