Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennige coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Copper and weighing 3.10g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted between 1855 and 1859, a period when the German states were in the process of unifying under a single government. This coin is a tangible reminder of that historical moment and a symbol of the economic and political shifts that were taking place in Germany during that time.
