Interesting fact
The 1 Pfenning coin from the City of Goslar (German States) made of Copper weighing 2.53g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of King George II of Great Britain, who was also the Elector of Hanover, a region in Germany. This coin was part of a currency union between Hanover and the nearby city of Goslar, and it features the King's monogram on one side and the Goslar coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
