Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin is that it was minted during the reign of Louis Rudolph, who was the ruler of the Principality of Brunswick-Blankenburg in the early 18th century. The coin's design features an image of Louis Rudolph on one side and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighs 15.15 grams, making it a substantial piece of currency for its time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
