Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Margraviate of Jülich is that it features a unique design, with a crowned lion on the obverse (front) side, and a shield with the Jülich coat of arms on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during the reign of William I, who ruled the Margraviate from 1336 to 1356. The use of a lion on the coin may have been a symbol of strength and power, as lions were often associated with bravery and royalty in medieval times. Additionally, the Jülich coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin would have served as a symbol of the Margraviate's identity and sovereignty.
