Interesting fact
The 24 Mariengroschen coin was minted during a time of great change in the German States. It was issued in 1766, just a few years before the start of the German Enlightenment, a period of intellectual and cultural growth that would have a profound impact on the region. The coin's design, featuring Frederick Botho and Charles Louis, reflects the political and social changes that were taking place at the time.
