Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Maximilian IV Joseph 1799-1805 coin from the Electorate of Bavaria (German States) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Maximilian IV Joseph, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1799 to 1805. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and Bavaria became an independent kingdom. The coin's design, which features a portrait of Maximilian IV Joseph on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and economic changes that were taking place in the region at the time.
