Interesting fact
The 1½ Pfenning coin from the City of Osnabrück (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Charles Augustus of Saxe-Weimar, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, as well as his support for the arts and education. The coin's design, featuring the coat of arms of Osnabrück on one side and the value on the other, reflects the city's pride in its history and traditions. Despite being made of copper, a relatively inexpensive material, the coin was still considered a valuable form of currency at the time, and its minting was an important event in the local economy. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of the region during this period.
