Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons), where it was issued. The 17th century was marked by political and religious conflicts, including the Thirty Years' War, which had a significant impact on the region. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Bishopric of Chur continued to be minted, with the 2 Pfennigs coin being one example of a coin that was used in everyday transactions during this time.
