Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Kingdom of Hannover, minted in 1838 during the reign of Ernest August, features an interesting design element - a small shield with the letter "H" in the center, which represents the Hannoverian coat of arms. This shield is placed above the number "1" in the coin's design. This fact highlights the coin's connection to the Kingdom of Hannover and its ruling family, the House of Hanover.
