Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from United duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg (German States) made of Silver weighing 7.16 g is that it was minted during the reign of William V, who was the Duke of Jülich-Kleve-Berg from 1575 to 1592. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted during his reign, and it features an image of William V on one side and the coat of arms of the United Duchies on the other. The coin was used as a means of payment in the German States during that time and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
