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 3.49 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 period, the Duchy of Jülich was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that the Duchy was still capable of producing high-quality silver coins that were widely used in trade and commerce.
