Interesting fact
The ⅙ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of John William, who was the Duke of Jülich-Berg from 1710 to 1715. The coin features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
