Interesting fact
The coin's designer, Frederick Ulrich, was a renowned engraver and medalist who worked for the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. He was known for his intricate designs, and his work on the 2 Pfennigs coin features a detailed image of a kipper, a type of fish, on the reverse side. The use of a kipper on the coin was a nod to the region's fishing industry and its importance to the local economy.
