Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Pfenning coin from the City of Osnabrück (German States) made of Copper weighing 3.3g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of King Frederick William I of Prussia, who ruled from 1713 to 1740. During his reign, Prussia underwent significant economic and military reforms, which helped to lay the foundation for the country's future prosperity and power. The coin's design, featuring the image of a crowned eagle on one side and the number 4 on the other, reflects the political and economic changes that were taking place during this time.
