Interesting fact

The 2 Pfennigs 1790 coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 1790, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the political and social landscape of Europe. Additionally, the coin was minted during a time of economic change, as the traditional feudal system was being replaced by capitalism. The fact that this coin was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, reflects the economic conditions of the time.
