Interesting fact
The 24 Mariengroschen "Palmbaumgulden" coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg (German States) is interesting because it features a unique design element - a palm tree on the reverse side, which is where the coin gets its name "Palmbaumgulden" (meaning "palm tree groschen" in German). This design was a nod to the palm trees that were grown in the region, and was meant to symbolize prosperity and good fortune.
