Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Grote coin from the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the region. The coin was issued in 1815, just after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and the German States were facing economic challenges. Despite these challenges, the coin was made with a unique blend of metals, including billon, which is a mixture of silver and copper, and it has a distinctive weight of 1.390 grams. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Oldenburg during a difficult period in their history.
