Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Chaise d'or - William III ND (1393-1402) from Duchy of Jülich (Jülich, German States) made of Gold weighing 4.36 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of William III, who was the Duke of Jülich from 1393 to 1402. During this period, the German States were experiencing significant economic growth and trade, which led to an increase in the demand for gold coins like the Chaise d'or. The coin's design, which features an image of William III on horseback, is a reflection of the political and military power of the Duchy of Jülich during this time.
