Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs coin from the Free City of Augsburg (German States) made of Copper and weighing 2.7g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Habsburg monarchy. This coin was part of a larger series of currency reforms aimed at standardizing coinage across the German States and promoting trade and commerce. Despite its small denomination, the 2 Pfennigs coin played an important role in the economy of the time and remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
