Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the United Duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg is that it features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a horse's head on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Duchy of Kleve. This design was used on many coins issued by the Duchy during this period, and it has become a distinctive feature of their coinage.
