背面描述	Elaborately quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the united duchies of Jülich, Cleves, Berg, and associated territories, surmounted by a large ducal crown with ornate mantling and foliate supporters on either side. The multi-quartered escutcheon displays lions, lozenges, and other heraldic charges pertaining to the Palatine-Neuburg dynasty's territorial claims. The date 1682 appears prominently in the upper field flanking the crown, and the Latin religious legend runs around the full periphery within a beaded border.

附加信息	John William II inherited Jülich-Berg in 1679 under the regency of his father's advisors, and the duchy's mint at Düsseldorf issued large multiples like this double thaler partly as prestige pieces — circulating less as currency than as diplomatic gifts and court presentation objects. The 1682 date places this squarely in the period before John William's later fame as an art patron and before the War of Spanish Succession scrambled the Rhineland's political geography entirely. Davenport's attribution under ST#6869 reflects the Rhenish double thaler tradition, struck to the standard of the 1566 Imperial Recess.
