Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs 1740 coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time when the German States were still using a variety of different currencies, and the 2 Pfennigs denomination was not widely used. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted specifically for use in the Cathedral chapter of Münster, and its copper composition and relatively low weight make it stand out from other coins of the time.
