Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Brunswick (German States) made of Copper and weighing 2.4 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of William VIII, who was the Duke of Brunswick from 1851 to 1856. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the German States. The coin's design features the Duke's effigy on one side and the coat of arms of Brunswick on the other, symbolizing the unity and strength of the Duchy. Despite being a small denomination, this coin holds historical significance as a representation of the economic and political changes occurring in Germany during the 19th century.
