| Additional information |
Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg was a tiny Reformed Protestant county in the Siegerland whose ruling counts retained minting rights largely as a matter of prestige — the economic output of the territory barely justified a mint. George V ruled from 1591 until his death in 1631, and these copper pfennige were struck in the years immediately preceding the Thirty Years' War, which would devastate the region and effectively end independent coinage in the county.
