Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted between 1704 and 1706, features an image of Anthony Ulrich, the ruling duke at the time. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was in decline during this period. The coin's silver content and small denomination made it an important tool for facilitating trade and commerce in the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of early 18th-century Europe.
