Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of George IV, who was the King of Hanover and the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. During his reign, the German states were in the process of becoming more centralized and unified, which ultimately led to the formation of the German Empire in 1871. Despite the political changes, the 1 Pfennig coin remained a standard circulation coin throughout this period, and its design and composition remained relatively consistent.
