24 Mariengroschen - Christopher of Bellinghausen

Corvey, a Benedictine imperial abbey on the Weser River, held the right to strike coin by imperial grant — a privilege it exercised with striking ambition relative to its modest territorial holdings. Christopher of Bellinghausen served as Prince-Abbot from 1678 to 1696, and his coinage was produced against the backdrop of ongoing strain from the Thirty Years' War's long economic aftermath, which had gutted silver circulation across the German states for decades.

The Ilisch/Schwede reference places this as variety 310, distinguishing it from closely related dies within the type.
