Interesting fact

The 1 Blanken coin from the Duchy of Cleves was minted during the reign of John I, who was also known as John the Pacifier. He was given this name because he was able to bring peace to the region after a period of conflict and unrest. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 2.28 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
