6 Pfennige - George IV

Brunswick's small silver pfennig denominations of the early 1820s were issued under George IV in his capacity as Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, a title held by the British crown following the extinction of the local ducal line in 1806. The arrangement was an awkward one — a British king ruling a German duchy by dynastic accident, with coinage struck accordingly at the Clausthal mint.

KM#1101 is among the lower-denomination silver pieces produced in limited quantity before Brunswick's monetary system was progressively absorbed into broader German conventions later in the decade.
