Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Berg, issued during the reign of Maximilian IV Joseph in 1803-1804, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Berg coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and a ribbon with the motto "Virtus Nobilitat" (Virtue Ennobles). This design was meant to symbolize the duchy's values of courage, loyalty, and nobility.
