| Additional information |
Brunswick's copper coinage of the early 1820s was struck under George IV in his capacity as King of Hanover, the personal union between Britain and Hanover having persisted since 1714. The duchy's small-denomination issues of this period were notoriously prone to poor alloy consistency, and contemporary complaints about underweight pfennig pieces circulating alongside debased imitations were common enough to prompt ducal ordinances addressing the problem.
