Anyone know what this is the date is gone all I can make out is a 2 for the last number in the date and I think it has 1 pfennig although the 1 is odd looking
 
Looks like a 1 pfenning during the reign of Maximilian III or IV, Joseph with the Wittelsbach Arms on the reverse side.
The reverse is sometimes described as the Bavarian diamond crest of the House of Wittelsbach, while the obverse may be
Karl II, Philipp Theodor (1777-1799). What makes the coin interesting (to me, anyway) is the split in the spelling of the word pfen--ning.

Agree on the Bavaria Pfenning. Looks like it should date 1761-77. Basing that on the shape at the top of the crest. Krause pics have a loop up there where the next variety is a bit different. But then the pics were of worn coins too!
