Interesting fact
The 6 Mariengroschen coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver weighing 3.53g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was experiencing significant economic growth and cultural prosperity. The coin's design features the image of the Virgin Mary, which was a common motif on coins during the Renaissance period, and its minting was likely a way for the city to promote its devotion to Catholicism. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight suggest that it was a valuable and widely used denomination during its time.
