Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Mites coin from the Lordship of Born (Belgian States) is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield on the obverse (front side) and a cross on the reverse (back side). This design was used during the reign of Reinald II van Valkenburg, who ruled the Lordship of Born from 1378 to 1396. The coin was made of copper and weighs 1.2 grams, making it a small but significant piece of history.
