Interesting fact
The 1 Albus coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, issued during the reign of John III in 1513, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, the coin bears an image of a wild boar, which was a popular game animal in the region at the time. This unique design choice was likely intended to promote the duchy's reputation as a prosperous and abundant region, where even the lowly boar was considered a valuable resource.
