Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted during the reign of Anthony Ulrich (1704-1713), was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for lower denomination coins at the time. This decision to use silver was likely due to the desire to showcase the wealth and power of the principality, as silver was a more valuable and prestigious metal. The use of silver also made the coin more durable and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that it would remain in circulation for a longer period of time.
