Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Charles I 1772 coin from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to indicate its value, as it was believed that the hole would make it easier for people to tell the coin's denomination. This design feature is not commonly found in other coins from the same time period, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
