Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The reign of Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich was marked by political and economic instability, and the coinage of the time reflects this. The 4 Pfennigs coin, made of silver, was a common denomination during this period, and its design features the coat of arms of the principality on one side and the names of the ruling dukes on the other. Despite the challenges faced by the principality during this time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
