Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the United Duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a shield with the coat of arms of the three duchies, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and topped with a crown. This design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the three duchies, which were joined together under a single ruler, William V. The use of a standardized design across the coinage of the United Duchies was also a way to promote a sense of shared identity and unity among the people of the region.
