Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Leichte Pfennigs 1767 coin from the Free Imperial City of Mühlhausen is that it features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and star symbol located above the shield on the obverse side of the coin. This symbol was added to the coin's design to represent the city's connection to the Islamic world, as Mühlhausen had a significant Muslim population during the 18th century. This is a rare example of Islamic influence on European coinage during that time period.
