Comment
Van Hengel 115 var., Lucas 6Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Gottfried II (Köpfchen) ND (1303-1331) coin from the Lordship of Heinsberg (German States) is that it features a unique design element known as a "Köpfchen," which is a small head or bust of a person, in this case, Gottfried II, on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This design element was used in the 14th century to signify the coin's denomination and to distinguish it from other coins in circulation. The use of the Köpfchen design was a common feature in coins from the German States during this time period.
