1 Stüber - Albert Frederick and Philip Louis Possidierende Fürsten

Following the death of Duke John William of Cleves in 1609 without an heir, the duchy became the subject of the War of the Jülich Succession, drawing in Brandenburg, Neuburg, Spain, and the Dutch Republic. The "possidierende Fürsten" — possessing princes — were Albert Frederick of Brandenburg and Philip Louis of Neuburg, who jointly administered the contested territory under a 1609 agreement while the legal dispute dragged on. This coin was struck under that uneasy condominium arrangement, a monetary output of political stalemate rather than settled sovereignty.
