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 Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the region and led to a period of economic instability. Despite this, the coinage of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel remained consistent and reliable, with the 4 Mariengroschen coin being a popular denomination among merchants and traders.
