Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1735, just a few years before the Seven Years' War, which had a profound impact on the economy and political landscape of Europe. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the 6 Mariengroschen, which remained in circulation until the late 18th century.
