Interesting fact
The ½ Schilling coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg, minted in 1622 during the reign of Wolfgang William, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the duke, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and berries. This design was meant to symbolize the duke's role as a wise and just ruler, with the oak leaves representing strength and durability.
