| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse of this small billon Pfennig piece displays the denomination numeral '2' prominently in the central field, identifying the coin's face value. Surrounding decorative elements typical of Habsburg minor coinage of the period frame the numeral. A beaded border encircles the design at the periphery. The sparse design is characteristic of small-denomination Austrian Pfennig coinage struck under Leopold I, where the reverse serves primarily as a value indicator. |

These tiny billon pieces were struck during the immediate aftermath of the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, when the Habsburg treasury was under severe strain from war financing. The siege's failure — broken by the combined relief force under Jan Sobieski — left the empire militarily triumphant but economically exhausted, and small-denomination coinage of this period frequently reflects that pressure in debased alloy and irregular production.
The three-year window of this issue corresponds to Herinek varieties 2053 through 2055, distinguished by minor die differences across the run.
