HEINCKE, GEORG (Germ.). Goldsmith at Liegnitz, where he worked for the Mint. He engraved dies for coins of Liegnitz, 1622 and 1623, and his initials GH occur also on two issues of the Goldberg Mint; in 1623 he designed a Groschen of George Rudolf. Schlickeysen's suggestion that Heincke was Mint-master in 1612 is an error. Distinctive sign G(L)H or G. H.
