Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs coin from the Kingdom of Hannover was minted during the reign of King William IV, who ruled from 1834 to 1854. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the kingdom on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was part of a series of coins minted during William IV's reign that were designed to standardize currency across the German states. Prior to this, each state had its own unique currency, which made trade and commerce difficult. The introduction of standardized coins like the 2 Pfennigs helped to simplify transactions and promote economic growth across the region.
