24 Mariengroschen - Jobst Edmund of Brabeck

Jobst Edmund of Brabeck became Prince-Bishop of Hildesheim in 1688 and spent much of his tenure navigating the political turbulence following Louis XIV's invasion of the Palatinate — the Nine Years' War that reshaped alliances across the Holy Roman Empire. The 24 Mariengroschen denomination was a specifically north German convention, equating to two-thirds of a Reichsthaler, and formed the backbone of regional trade coinage in Lower Saxony during this period.

Brabeck's issues are relatively scarce compared to those of larger secular principalities; the bishopric's minting output was modest and politically constrained. The Dav SG#561 attribution places this firmly within the two-thirds thaler series catalogued by Davenport.
