Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Rudolph August, the ruler of the principality, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This coin was minted during Rudolph August's reign from 1667 to 1674 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. Despite its small weight of 2.5 grams, it was made of silver, which gave it a significant value at the time.
