Comment
The end date of Adrian's reign is uncertain.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Mites coin from the Lordship of Elsloo is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Nassau, which was the ruling family of the Dutch States at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's legitimacy and connection to the ruling power.
