Interesting fact
The 1½ Pfenning coin was minted during the reign of George II, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover from 1727 until his death in 1765. During his reign, he implemented several economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system in 1750, which included the 1½ Pfenning coin made of copper. This coin was significant because it was the first time a copper coin had been minted in the region, and it was also the first coin to feature the image of George II. The coin's design featured the Duke's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover on the other.
