24 Mariengroschen - George William

Leiningen-Westerburg was a fragmented imperial county in the Rhenish Palatinate, and by 1676 its coinage rights were exercised under conditions of near-constant jurisdictional dispute with neighboring territories. The 24 Mariengroschen denomination — equal to two-thirds of a Reichstaler — flourished specifically in northwestern German circulation during the latter half of the 17th century, filling a practical gap left by the shortage of full Taler-weight silver in everyday trade.

George William ruled the Leiningen-Westerburg-Neuleiningen line, one of several partition branches that had divided the county's already modest resources across competing heirs since the early 1600s.
