Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Pfennigs - Charles August 1790-1792 from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, German States) made of Copper weighing 5.2 g is that it features an image of Charles August, the reigning Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, with the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars having a significant impact on the continent. Despite this, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and its rulers.
