Interesting fact
The 8 Heller coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, minted during the reign of Wolfgang William (1649-1653), features an unusual design element - a small image of a horse on the reverse side. This horse symbolized the duchy's coat of arms and was a nod to the region's rich history of horse breeding and trading.
