Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs coin from Dülmen is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its age and historical significance. It was minted during a time of great change in Europe, when the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving and the German States were forming their own independent territories. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three roses, and a crowned eagle, symbolizing the city's connection to the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's mintage was limited, and many of them were likely used for trade and commerce, making them even more scarce today.
