Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Turnose "Groschen Tournois" - William II ND (1361-1393) from Duchy of Jülich (Jülich, German States) made of Silver weighing 3.74 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of William II, who was the Duke of Jülich from 1361 until his death in 1393. During this time, the Duchy of Jülich was an important player in the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation that spanned across Northern Europe. The coin's design, which features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Jülich, reflects the Duchy's growing influence and prosperity during this period.
