Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued by George Louis, who was the Elector of Hanover and the King of Great Britain, and it features an image of him on one side and the coat of arms of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover on the other. This coin was minted during a period of significant political and economic change, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and the German states were reorganized. Despite these changes, the 24 Mariengroschen coin remained a widely used and valued form of currency throughout the region.
