Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Gute Pfennig 1676 coin from the City of Brunswick (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Rudolph Augustus, who ruled the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1666 to 1704. During his reign, Rudolph Augustus implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the local economy and increase trade. The 4 Gute Pfennig coin was part of this new system, and it was used widely in the region for everyday transactions. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, with many examples still in circulation among numismatists.
