Beleg van Gulik door Albrecht, aartshertog van Oostenrijk, noodmunt met het gewicht van een kwart rijksdaalder, vervaardigd uit Dicken van Johann Reinhard I, graaf van Hanau-Lichtenberg, bestempeld me Possibly 1621 - 1629

This silver coin, a quarter Reichsthaler in size, was produced during the Siege of Jülich (1621-1629) and is a rare example of a "Noodmunt" or emergency coin. It bears the inscription "1621 IN DGVL BELEG" (1621 in Jülich Siege) along with the coat of arms of Albrecht, Archduke of Austria. Created by an anonymous artist, it is a testament to the tumultuous political landscape of the time and serves as a reminder of the crucial role that coins played in the everyday lives of people during this period.
