| Additional information |
August William ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1714 until his death in 1731, inheriting a duchy that had been financially strained by the War of the Spanish Succession. The 6 Mariengroschen was a workhorse denomination in the Lower Saxon monetary system, its value tied to the Mariengroschen — a unit whose name derived from the Virgin Mary imagery historically associated with Groschen coinage of the region. Production spanning only 1714–1715 suggests a short-run response to a specific currency demand rather than a sustained minting program.
