Comment
KM reference is under Austrian Netherlands - ReckheimInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Duit (TRA REC HEM) ND (1625-1660) from Lordship of Reckem (Belgian States) made of Copper is that it features a unique design that reflects the region's history and culture. The coin's obverse side features an image of a crowned shield with the letters "TRA" and "REC" on either side, while the reverse side features a image of a hemispherical shape with a small cross in the center, surrounded by the letters "HEM" and the date "ND" (which stands for "Nouvelle Dynastie" or "New Dynasty"). This design was used during the reign of the House of Orange-Nassau, which ruled the Lordship of Reckem from 1625 to 1660. The use of copper as the material for the coin was also a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
