Interesting fact
The 24 Mariengroschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of George I, who ruled from 1698 to 1711, a period that saw the Holy Roman Empire dissolved and the beginning of the European Enlightenment. Additionally, the coin was minted in a time when silver coins were becoming increasingly popular as a medium of exchange, and its production marked a significant shift towards the use of silver as a standard currency in Europe.
