Interesting fact
The 1 Guldengroschen coin was minted during the reign of John III, who was the Duke of Jülich-Berg from 1513 to 1515. The coin features an image of the Duke on one side and the Jülich-Berg coat of arms on the other. What's interesting is that the coat of arms includes a depiction of a lion, which was a symbol of strength and power in medieval times. This suggests that the Duke wanted to convey the idea that his rule was strong and powerful, and that the coin was a symbol of that power.
