Interesting fact

The 2 Pfennige coin from the Duchy of Brunswick (German States) made of Copper and weighing 4.6g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of William VIII, who was the last Duke of Brunswick before the Duchy was annexed by Prussia in 1866. This coin is a piece of history that represents the final era of the Duchy's independence before it became part of a larger nation.
