Interesting fact
The 2 Stüber coin from the Duchy of Cleves, issued during the reign of John II (1507-1508), features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a wild boar on the reverse side. This symbol was chosen to represent the region's rich hunting traditions and the boar's reputation as a fierce and powerful animal. The coin's design was likely meant to convey the idea of strength and prosperity, reflecting the duchy's economic and political growth during that time.
