Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Great Northern War (1700-1721) which involved many European powers, including Sweden, Russia, and the Holy Roman Empire. Despite the conflict, the Bishopric of Chur was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 2 Pfennigs coin.
