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, including a portrait of William V, the Duke of Jülich-Kleve-Berg, surrounded by the coat of arms of the three duchies and a depiction of the Virgin Mary on the reverse side. This blend of religious and secular symbols was a common feature of coins during the Renaissance period and reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the time.
