Additional information

Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg was a tiny imperial county in Westphalia that retained minting rights largely through the fragmented sovereignty of the Holy Roman Empire — dozens of such petty lordships struck their own copper pfennige in the early seventeenth century, often in defiance of imperial monetary reform efforts. George V ruled the county from 1603 until his death in 1631, and the undated span assigned to this issue reflects the difficulty of attributing these minor copper strikes to specific years within a reign.
