Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Weißpfennig coin from the Duchy of Jülich is that it features a unique design element - a small cross symbol located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the design as a symbol of the Christian faith and to signify the coin's connection to the Church. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
