Interesting fact
The 2 Bausche coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, minted in 1489 during the reign of William III, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols associated with the ruling family, this coin bears an image of a wild boar, which was a popular game animal in the region at the time. This unique design choice was likely intended to showcase the duchy's rich natural resources and the importance of hunting as a means of subsistence and sport.
