Interesting fact
The 1 Duit coin from the Duchy of Cleves, issued during the reign of Frederick II (1749-1750), features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with three lions, which symbolize the three main regions of the duchy: Cleves, Mark, and Ravensberg. This design was used on many coins issued by the duchy during this period, and it represents the unity and strength of the region.
