Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Mites coin from the Lordship of Limbricht is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Stein, which was the ruling family of the region at the time. This shield is placed above the coin's denomination, adding an extra layer of detail and visual interest to the coin's design.
