Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Ruhla (Thiel and Schuchardt) ND coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at the time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of iron was seen as a way to reduce the cost of production and make the coin more accessible to the general population. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
