Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for coinage during the time period, but it's unusual for a coin with such a low denomination as 2 Pfennigs. Most coins of this value were made of copper or bronze. The use of iron in this case may have been due to the scarcity of other metals during World War I, when this coin was issued.
