Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs "Zwaygerli" coin from the City of Konstanz (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small bird, known as a "Zwaygerli," perched on the shoulder of the coin's obverse (front) side. This small bird is believed to symbolize the freedom and independence of the city-state of Konstanz, and its inclusion on the coin reflects the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
