goldnugget Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 07/19/2010 10:27 pm I've searched the Internet for over 5 hours . I've also looked in my 2 World Coin Almanac and they only go back to around 1830's/ The number 11 ( 2 ) is old Roman style and the Mi nt Master Inital is HM- Joachim Heinrich Meese. I believe the Ruler at the time was Friedrich Franz 1785- 1837 German State. The picture that I have is in another program and I can't submit it tonight., It want attach to this Post and it is made of copper about the same size as a United States Nickel or Cent. Thanks Edited by goldnugget 07/19/2010 11:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I googled Friedrich Franz, and the only one that matched the year was FF the 1st, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg. There were two coin issuing entities, Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Neither one issued the denomination of two pfennig. The mintmasters initials, as I see it, are NM, not HM. Maybe when you post the complete pictures we'll have better leads.

The mintmasters initials NM are those of Nikolaus Martinengo. KM# 271. This example on eBay sold for 2.62 euros.
