Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Schillings coin from the Lordship of Schönforst is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the County of Nassau, which was the ruling family of the region at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "SCHONFORST" and the year of minting. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a distinctive and interesting piece for collectors.
