Interesting fact
The 2 Stüber coin from East Frisia featuring Frederick II, issued between 1772 and 1775, was made of silver and weighed 1.46 grams. Despite its small size, this coin was an important part of the local currency system in East Frisia during that time. In fact, the 2 Stüber coin was equivalent to one-fourth of a standard silver thaler, which was the main currency unit in the region. This coin's design featured an image of Frederick II, who was the ruling king of Prussia at the time, and was minted in the city of Aurich, which was the capital of East Frisia. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for hundreds of dollars at auction.
