The Act of April 22, 1864, which changed the weight and composition of the cent, included a provision for a bronze two-cent piece. The weight was specified as 96 grains, the alloy being the same as for the cent. The shield design is very similar to that on the nickel five-cent piece introduced in 1866. All dates were produced at the Philadelphia Mint.
