Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Duchy of Berg is that it features an image of William II, who was the Duke of Berg from 1380 to 1408. He was a member of the House of Jülich, a powerful dynasty that ruled several territories in the region. The coin's design includes a portrait of William II on one side and a depiction of the Berg coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of medieval numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
