2 Mijt - Konrad II van Schoonvorst

Konrad II van Schoonvorst held Elsloo as a small lordship wedged between the competing monetary authorities of Liège and Gelderland, and his copper petty coinage was almost certainly struck to address a chronic shortage of small change in the Meuse valley during the first half of the fifteenth century. Issues from minor Netherlandish lordships of this period are frequently unlisted or poorly documented — the vdCh 8# suffix and Lucas 1b attribution together suggest this type was only partially catalogued, with at least one die variety still unresolved at the time of publication.
