Interesting fact
The 1 Stüber coin from the Duchy of Cleves, also known as the "Schwanenstüber," features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols, it depicts a swan, which was the heraldic animal of the Duchy of Cleves. This design was used during the reign of John II, who ruled the duchy from 1481 to 1521. The use of the swan as a symbol of the duchy can be traced back to the 14th century, and it was believed to represent loyalty, courage, and purity.
