Interesting fact
The 24 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Münster, minted during the reign of Frederick Christian of Plettenberg (1692-1694), features an image of the Virgin Mary on the obverse side, which is why it's called a "Mariengroschen" (meaning "Marian groat" in German). The coin was made of silver and weighed 17.16 grams.
