Comment
Version with the Number denomation "6" beside the wild man:Interesting fact
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 1682 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. Despite being made of silver and weighing only 3.5 grams, it was an important part of the local economy during that time.
