Interesting fact
The 2 Albus coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, issued during the reign of John William II (1681-1690), features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the duke, surrounded by an elaborate wreath. This design was meant to symbolize the duke's power and authority, and it was a common motif in coins of that era.
