Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1½ Pfennig coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1680, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was able to maintain its independence and economic stability, and the 1½ Pfennig coin is a testament to the region's resilience and determination.
