Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Charles Theodor 1793 coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "C.T." (for Charles Theodor) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and era.
