Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Ferdinand III of Austria-Tuscany 1805-1806 from Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Napoleonic Wars, which had a significant impact on the Austrian Empire and its territories, including the Bishopric of Salzburg. The coin's design, featuring Ferdinand III, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time, and its copper composition was likely chosen due to the scarcity of other metals during this period.
