Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Stüber coin from the United Duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of William V, who was the Duke of Jülich-Kleve-Berg from 1583 to 1588. During his reign, the region was facing significant economic challenges, including a severe shortage of coinage and a growing trade deficit. The minting of the ½ Stüber coin was likely a response to these challenges, as it was designed to be a more affordable alternative to the standard Stüber coin, which was made of silver and valued at 1 Stüber. Despite its lower value, the ½ Stüber coin was still made of silver, which gave it a level of durability and value that was not seen in other coins of the time. Today, the ½ Stüber coin is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
