Comment
Token with a value of IIIIII, IIII and III knownInteresting fact
The Coesfeld 2 Pfennigs token was issued during a time of economic hardship in the early 19th century, when many German cities were facing financial difficulties. The token was used as a substitute for official currency, which was in short supply at the time. Despite its small denomination, the token was made of copper, which was a valuable resource at the time. This highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Coesfeld during a challenging period in history.
