Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Eisenach, minted between 1733 and 1735, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of William Henry, the ruling duke at the time, surrounded by an elaborate wreath. This design was a departure from the more traditional depictions of royalty on coins and showcased the artistic style of the time.
