Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Schnapphahn - William V ND (1540-1543) from United duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg (German States) made of Silver weighing 6.5 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The United Duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg were a collection of territories in the Lower Rhine region that were ruled by the same dynasty, and this coin was minted during the reign of William V, who was the Duke of Jülich-Kleve-Berg from 1540 to 1543.
