Interesting fact
The 6 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Osnabrück, issued in 1669 during the reign of Ernest August I, features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a bishop's mitre on the reverse side, which represents the ecclesiastical authority of the Bishopric of Osnabrück.
