Interesting fact
The 4 Pennig coin from the City of Telgte (German States) made of Lead is interesting because it was minted during a time when lead coins were not commonly used in Germany. In fact, most coins during this period were made of silver or gold, so the use of lead for this coin was a departure from the norm. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in a small city like Telgte makes it a unique piece of numismatic history.
