Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Charles Frederick 1830 coin from Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features a unique design element. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned eagle, which was a symbol of the German States. This design was used on many coins during this time period, but the specific design on this coin is distinct from other coins issued by the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. This makes the coin a valuable collector's item for those interested in numismatics and the history of the German States.
