2 Leichte Pfenninge

Mühlhausen — the Thuringian city, not the Alsatian one — retained its status as a Free Imperial City until Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire's remaining structures in 1806, after which it was absorbed into the Kingdom of Westphalia. By 1767, such minor civic copper coinage was already an anachronism, issued more out of municipal tradition and economic necessity than any coordinated monetary policy. Small Pfennig denominations like this circulated almost exclusively within the city's immediate territory.
