Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs - Theodore of Brabeck 1787 coin from the Abbey of Corvey (German States) is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of Theodore of Brabeck, the abbot of the monastery, on one side, and the coat of arms of the abbey on the other. This design was chosen to commemorate Theodore's 25th anniversary as abbot, and it's believed that only a small number of these coins were minted, making them quite rare and valuable among collectors.
