| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a five-line inscription arranged centrally in the field, giving the denomination and monetary category. The large Roman numeral II appears prominently at the top, flanked by small decorative rosette stops on either side. Below, the lines read PFENNING, SCHEIDE, MUNTZ, and the date 1772, identifying this as a Scheidemünze (small change currency) of two Pfennig. The stark typographic layout with no additional imagery is typical of Brunswick copper subsidiary coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel's small copper coinage of the 1770s was issued under Charles I, who ruled the principality for over half a century and spent much of that time navigating the financial pressures of maintaining an independent court while leasing troops — most notoriously to Britain during the American Revolutionary War. The pfennig denominations were workhorses of local market exchange, circulating hard in a territory whose economy ran largely on agriculture and ducal military contracts.
Welter 2781 is a relatively straightforward late-reign copper type, distinguished primarily by its place in the long sequence of Charles's issues rather than any particular minting anomaly.
