Interesting fact
The 1 Pfenning coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, minted during the reign of George II William (1691-1699), features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "GROSSUS DVX" (meaning "Great Duke") was mistakenly engraved as "GROSSUS DVXI" (meaning "Great Dux"). This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
