Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Victor II Frederick 1744-1745 coin from Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This was a common practice in the German States during that time period, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to produce and circulate. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce.
