Comment
Mintmaster AS - Andreas ScheeleInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.4g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Johann Friedrich of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who ruled the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1665 to 1679. During his reign, the duchy experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of coins like the 4 Mariengroschen was an important part of this process. The coin's design, which features an image of the Virgin Mary, also reflects the strong religious beliefs of the time.
