Interesting fact
The 1 Albus coin from the City of Neuss (German States) made of Silver is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. It's believed that the coin was minted in the early 16th century, during the reign of Duke Johann III of Cleves, who ruled the Duchy of Cleves, a region in the lower Rhine valley. The coin's design features the image of Saint Sebastian, a Christian martyr, on one side, and the coat of arms of the City of Neuss on the other. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
