Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers siege currency coin from Jülich (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the region. The city of Jülich was under siege by Spanish forces in 1610, and the local government was forced to mint this special currency to pay for the military expenses and supplies needed to defend the city. The coin's unique design and silver content make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
