⅔ Gros - Reinhard II

Reinhard II von Schönforst ruled a minor lordship wedged between the territories of Liège, Aachen, and Jülich — precisely the kind of fractured political geography that made the late medieval Low Countries a numismatic labyrinth. The ⅔ gros denomination itself reflects local monetary pragmatism: smaller fractional pieces were struck to compete with, and complement, the heavier Flemish and French gros circulating in regional trade routes.

Schönforst coinage is rarely encountered, the lordship having been absorbed by Jülich before the fifteenth century ended.
