Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig - Alfeld (C. Behrens) ND coin was designed by Carl Behrens, a German engraver and medalist who was known for his work on various coins and medals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Behrens' design for this coin features a depiction of a wheat ear and oak leaves on the obverse (front side), which symbolize prosperity and strength. The reverse (back side) of the coin features the coat of arms of the City of Alfeld, which includes a shield with three horizontal stripes and a crown on top. The coin's design was meant to represent the city's rich agricultural heritage and its connection to the Prussian province of Hanover.
