Interesting fact
The 1 Gulden coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg, which was minted during the reign of Philip William in 1674-1675, features an image of the coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach, which was the ruling family of the Duchy at the time. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, which was a common motif in coin design during the Baroque period. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was also a common practice during this time, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage throughout Europe.
