Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Alfeld was minted during a time when the city was part of the Prussian province of Hanover, which was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia. The coin features the image of a beech tree, which is a nod to the city's name "Alfeld," which means "beech tree field" in German. The beech tree was also a symbol of the city's long history of forestry and woodworking industries.
