Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn (German States) made of Billon and weighing 2.4 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of William Anthony of Asseburg, who was the Bishop of Paderborn from 1764 to 1766. This coin was used as a means of payment during his tenure, and it features an image of the bishop on one side and the coat of arms of the bishopric on the other. It's a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the German States.
