Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Pfenning - Charles I 1754 from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.35 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe.

During his reign, Charles I implemented a number of economic and political reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region.
