Interesting fact

The 1 Bausche coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, issued during the reign of William III (1482-1483), features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the duchy on the reverse side. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the duchy's independence and sovereignty, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same period.
