Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "C.F.C.A." (Christian Frederick Charles Alexander) surrounded by a wreath. This shield was added to the coin's design to commemorate the reign of Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1757 to 1791. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during his reign and bears his name and initials.
