Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, issued in 1711 during the reign of John William II, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms combines the symbols of the two territories that made up the duchy - Jülich and Berg - and is surrounded by a wreath of flowers. This design was used on several coins issued during John William II's reign and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
