Comment
Variant from 1750:
Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, featuring Frederick III, is notable for its unique design. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Frederick III, while the reverse side features a depiction of a shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. This design was used for coins minted during Frederick III's reign from 1750 to 1755. It's also worth mentioning that the coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time, and it weighs 3.5 grams. I hope you find this information helpful!
