Interesting fact

The 2 Pfennige coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, minted between 1839 and 1850, features an interesting design element - the portrait of King Louis I on the obverse (front side) is surrounded by a wreath made of oak leaves, which was a symbol of strength and durability in German culture at the time.
