Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "EA" (for Ernest August) inside a wreath. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the number "1" and above the year of mintage. This design element was added to the coin to signify the reign of King Ernest Augustus, who ruled the Kingdom of Hannover from 1837 until his death in 1851.
