Interesting fact

The 1½ Pfennig coin from the City of Osnabrück (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Philip Sigismund of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who ruled from 1550 to 1586. During his reign, the duchy experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of coins like the 1½ Pfennig helped to facilitate trade and commerce in the region. Additionally, the use of copper in the minting process was a deliberate choice, as it was a more affordable and accessible material than other metals, making it a practical option for everyday transactions.
