Interesting fact

The 4 Albus coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, which was minted during the reign of Wolfgang William between 1636 and 1646, features an interesting design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was a common feature on coins minted during this period in the German States, and it symbolized the unity and strength of the region.
