Interesting fact
The 1½ Pfenning coin from the Principality of Lippe, minted during the reign of Paul Alexander Leopold II (1821-1825), is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was not commonly used for coinage in the German States during that time period. Most coins from this region and era were made of silver or gold, so the use of copper for this coin was a notable deviation from the norm.
