Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles William Ferdinand, who was a member of the House of Welf, a powerful noble family that ruled several German states. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination made it a widely used currency among the general population, and it remained in circulation for many years after its minting. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today, with some rare variations selling for high prices at auction.
