Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of John William II, the Duke of Jülich-Berg, who passed away in 1716. The coin's design features an image of the duke on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Duchy of Jülich-Berg. The use of gold in the coin's composition and its relatively high weight of 14.06 grams also make it a notable and valuable piece in the world of numismatics.
