| Reversbeschreibung | Five-line central inscription occupying the entire field, reading the denomination and date, within a beaded border. The numeral '2' flanked by quatrefoil ornaments appears at the top, followed by 'PFEN' and 'NING.' on successive lines, then the date '1769', and finally the mintmaster's initials 'V·H' (Ludwig van Hove) at the base. The lettering is bold and evenly spaced, consistent with the utilitarian engraving style of minor German state coinage of the period. |

Henry VIII of Bibra served as Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1759 until his death in 1788, overseeing the diocese during a period when the small ecclesiastical states of the Holy Roman Empire were under increasing fiscal and administrative pressure from secular neighbors. Fulda had long maintained its own coinage rights as an imperial abbey elevated to a prince-bishopric, and small silver fractions like this were struck to meet local transactional demand.
The Eichelmann reference places this squarely within the documented Fulda diocesan series, though surviving examples in collectible condition are scarce — the coin's low face value ensured heavy circulation and correspondingly aggressive wear on most survivors.
