1 Weißpfennig - Reinald

Reinald II of Jülich issued this Weißpfennig during a period when the Lower Rhine region was glutted with debased imitations of the Aachen white penny, and distinguishing legitimate ducal coinage from the flood of counterfeits had become a genuine administrative headache. The Weißpfennig denomination itself owed its existence to the Rhine monetary conventions of the late 14th century, which attempted to standardize small silver across a politically fractured region — an effort that worked only intermittently.

Noss 158 is among the more localized types in the Jülich sequence, with a relatively narrow circulation footprint compared to issues struck under Jülich-Berg union.
