Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennige coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it features an image of King Ernest Augustus, who was the last king of the House of Hanover and ruled from 1837 until his death in 1846. Despite his relatively short reign, he played a significant role in the history of Germany and Europe during a time of great political upheaval.
