Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennige coin from the Duchy of Brunswick is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1828, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which had established a new political order in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. The Duchy of Brunswick was one of the many German states that were formed during this time, and the coin reflects the economic and political changes that were taking place in the region.
