| Additional information |
Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein was one of the smallest and most financially precarious of the Westphalian counties, perpetually caught between larger neighbors and the economic devastation left by the Thirty Years' War. By 1675, silver coinage from this county was already an anomaly — the territory lacked its own mine output and depended on purchased bullion, making sustained production difficult. The Mariengroschen denomination itself was a north German accounting standard tied to the Lübisch system, adopted piecemeal across the region's smaller states as interoperability with Hanover and Brunswick became commercially necessary.
KM#49 is cited across three M-J/V references (364–366), suggesting die variation within the issue rather than a single unified striking.
