Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, minted during the reign of George Louis (1717-1726), features an image of the king on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the four German states that made up the Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover dynasty. This coin was made of copper and weighed 3.5 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the German states, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
