Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The 2 Pfennigs coin was introduced in 1923 as a replacement for the inflationary Papiermark, which had lost much of its value due to hyperinflation. The coin was made of iron, a relatively cheap metal, to keep production costs low. Despite its low value, the coin was an important symbol of stability and helped to restore confidence in the German economy.
