Leschhorn 1521Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig 1441 coin was minted during the reign of Duke Frederick II of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who was known for his extensive coinage reforms. The coin features the Duke's crowned shield on the obverse and a lion on the reverse, symbolizing the duchy's strength and power. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a significant departure from the previous copper coins, and it marked a shift towards a more valuable and durable currency for the region.
