Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler "Neujahrsklippe" coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, minted in 1642 during the reign of Wolfgang William, features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify the passing of time and the cyclical nature of life. It's a fascinating example of the symbolism and craftsmanship that went into the creation of coins during that time period.
