Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Gute Groschen coin from the Duchy of Brunswick is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1840, just a few years before the German Confederation was formed, which was a union of 39 German states that aimed to create a unified economic and political system. The coin's silver content and its design, featuring the image of William, the Duke of Brunswick, reflect the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
