Interesting fact
The 1 Pfenning coin from the Duchy of Brunswick (German States) made of Copper and weighing 1.69g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of George IV (1819-1820), who was the Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg, and later became the King of Hanover. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a brief period of time when the Duchy of Brunswick was an independent state before it was annexed by Prussia in 1866.
