Interesting fact
The 24 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim, minted in 1693, features an image of Jobst Edmund of Brabeck, the Bishop of Hildesheim at the time. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the bishop's authority and influence in the region. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe, and the image of the bishop on the coin may have been seen as a symbol of stability and continuity in the face of these changes.
