Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs coin from the County of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda, minted in 1685 during the reign of John Adolph, is notable for its unique design. It features a crowned shield with the county's coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries. This design was used for a short period of time and is considered rare among collectors. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
