Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during the reign of Louis Rudolph, who was a member of the House of Welf and ruled the principality from 1731 until his death in 1735. Despite his short reign, Louis Rudolph made significant contributions to the economy and culture of the region, including the minting of this coin, which was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign.
