Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4½ Pfennig coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1691, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and disrupted its economy. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as the 4½ Pfennig coin, which was made of silver and weighed 1 gram. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel during a difficult period in German history.
