Comment
Slg. Krug 596Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during the reign of Henry the Elder, who was a member of the House of Welf, a powerful noble family in Germany. The coin features an image of Henry the Elder on one side and the Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant choice, as it reflected the wealth and power of the Principality at the time.
