Interesting fact
The 4 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted between 1704 and 1705, features an image of Anthony Ulrich, the ruling duke at the time. The coin was made of silver and weighed 4.00 grams. What's interesting is that the coin was minted during a time of economic struggle for the principality, and the use of silver in the coin's production was a deliberate choice to increase its value and stability. Despite the economic challenges, the coin remained in circulation for over a century, a testament to its durability and the trust that people had in it.
