Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 4 Pfenning - Fredrich William (Silver pattern strike) 1814 from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was one of the many German states that were undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization during the early 19th century, and the coin reflects this period of transformation. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice, as it was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time, and its use in the coinage of the Principality was seen as a symbol of the state's wealth and prosperity.
