One interesting fact about the 6 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 1668 to 1678 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in circulation among collectors today, making them a valuable piece of history.
