Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mites coin from the Lordship of Reckem 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 William II of Sombreffe, who was a prominent nobleman in the Belgian States during the 15th century. The use of a crowned shield and cross on the coin may have symbolized the power and influence of the Lordship of Reckem during that time.
