Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the County of Jülich is that it features a unique design, with a crowned lion on the obverse (front) side, and a cross on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during the reign of Gerhard, who was the Count of Jülich from 1297 to 1328. The use of a lion on the coin may have been a symbol of strength and power, while the cross may have represented the Christian faith. The fact that the coin was made of silver also suggests that it was a valuable and important form of currency at the time.
