| Additional information |
Anthony Ulrich ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel until his death in 1714 at age 80, having spent his final years engineering the territory's conversion to Catholicism — a move calculated to secure Habsburg favor and advance dynastic ambitions in the Imperial succession. The 6 Mariengroschen was a workhorse denomination in the Lower Saxon currency system, the Mariengroschen itself being a regional unit tied historically to the image of the Virgin favored across Brunswick coinage since the late medieval period.
