Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Osnabrück is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1721-1722, a period when many European countries were transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, capitalist economy. This change is reflected in the coin's design, which features an image of Ernest August II of York, a prominent figure in the German States, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Osnabrück on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region during this time.
