ID and/or info please...

The dealer I bought this from said it was from Trier.
That's a city in southwest Germany and I think at the time it was an archbishopric.
Can anyone verify the ID and add any info if possible? Thanks.

My 2nd ed. doesn't have an obv picture for that type monogram (CWC), but the reverse matches up well with earlier type.

From Krause:
KM 342 (C67) 1789GM 2 Pfennig
No mintage specs
VG=$4, F=$8,VF=$16, EF=$40

GM = mintmaster Gotthard Martinengo 1763-1794
CWC monogram for Clemens Wenzel, Archbishop 1768-1802

Trier, near Luxembourg border, became a seat of a Bishopric early in the Christian era. Became Archbishopric c. 830. Began striking own coinage C 990. Imperial electorate (1 of 7) of the Empire in 1356.
