Lucas# 20Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Schillings coin featuring Gottfried III of Dalenbrok is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Lordship of Heinsberg was a small territory located in what is now North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and it was constantly threatened by neighboring powers. Despite this, the coinage of the region remained consistent and of high quality, with the 2 Schillings coin being a prime example. Its silver content and detailed design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
