Moritz Casimir II ruled Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda during the Seven Years' War, a conflict that devastated Westphalian territories through repeated military occupation and requisitioning. Small copper pfennig issues of this period often served purely local needs, as larger silver coinage was hoarded or melted. Kennepohl's cataloguing of Westphalian minor coinage remains the authoritative reference for types like this one, which survive primarily in low grades given their workhorse role in daily petty commerce.
