Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs 1610 coin from the City of Ahlen (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time when the German States were still using a variety of different currencies, and the 2 Pfennigs coin was not a standard denomination across all states. The fact that it was made of copper also indicates that it was a relatively low-value coin, as copper was a less valuable metal than silver or gold, which were used for higher denomination coins.
