Interesting fact
The 4 Mariengroschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) weighing 3.33g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. George II, who ruled from 1746-1752, was the last British monarch to be crowned as the King of Hanover, reflecting the complex political landscape of Europe during that time. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of St. George slaying a dragon, which was a popular motif in medieval Europe and symbolized the triumph of good over evil.
