Interesting fact

The 2 Pfennigs coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, made of silver, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the German States, including Nuremberg. Despite the challenges of this period, the city continued to mint coins, such as this 2 Pfennigs coin, which were used for everyday transactions. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Nuremberg during a time of great upheaval.
