Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mites coin from the Lordship of Reckem is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins issued by Arnold III of Stein during his reign.
