| Additional information |
Ferdinand Albert II ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel for less than three years, dying in 1735 — the same year this coin was struck — leaving the duchy to his son Carl I. The principality's copper pfennig coinage of this period was minted primarily at the Zellerfeld facility in the Harz mining district, where access to metal from local extraction kept small denomination production viable long after similar issues had been abandoned elsewhere in the German states.
