Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Henry II 1760-1761 coin from County of Reuss-Lobenstein is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "H" and "L" on either side of the crown, which stands for the name of the ruler, Henry II, and the name of the county, Lobenstein. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
